2006–2011 Glaval Primetime & 2006–2011 Glaval Sport + 9 more recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
Glaval is recalling certain model year 2006 through 2007 transit buses built on ford, GMC, chevrolet, and freightliner chassis and equipped with carrier genv EM-1 evaporator units. Due to time, temperature, and/or vibration, the fuse may loosen in the fuse holder resulting in high resistance and arcing.
💥 The risk
If sufficient arcing occurs, the fuse holder may melt, and a vehicle fire may occur.
🔧 The fix
Glaval will notify owners and provide information on how to obtain the retrofit kit from carrier along with repair instructions. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on january 14, 2012. (see carrier's recall campaign 11E-003.) owners may contact carrier at 1-800-348-7440.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
