2009–2010 Elkhart Ecii recall: electrical system
⚠️ What's wrong
Elkhart Coach (Elkhart) is recalling certain model year 2009-2010 ECII transit buses manufactured August 1, 2009, through March 31, 2010, and equipped with A&M Systems-brand electric door actuators. Voltage spikes may damage electrical components and electrical circuits within the actuator, causing the circuit board to develop high resistance.
💥 The risk
High resistance may cause the circuit board to overheat, increasing the risk of a fire.
🔧 The fix
Elkhart will notify owners, and dealers will replace any affected circuit board, free of charge. The recall began on March 24, 2014. Owners may contact Elkhart at 1-574-522-0246.
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.)
