Equipment / Appliance / Air Conditioner
Defect, in the NHTSA record
Double k (dba hometown trolley) is recalling certain model year 2008 through 2010 villager and mainstreet buses manufactured from november 2008 though december 2010 and equipped with carrier genv em-1 evaporator units, containing a delphi pack-con III fuse holder in an allied motion motor assembly. Due to time, temperature, and/or vibration, the fuse may loosen in the fuse holder resulting in high resistance and arcing.
Consequence, in the NHTSA record
If sufficient arcing occurs, the fuse holder may melt, and may be accompanied by flame, smoke and potential fire.
Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Double k 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 manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule. (see carrier's recall campaign 11e-003.) owners may contact carrier at 1-800-793-4741 or double k at 1-715-478-5090.

11V091000Received 11 Feb 2011. 175 units.
Equipment
Defect, in the NHTSA record
Double k is recalling certain buses equipped with trans air ta 73 evaporators. The evaporator utilizes a power resistor to regulate blower speed. Should a short occur in the "low or medium speed" circuit while the blower is in high speed, the short will cause the supply voltage to feedback through the resistor to ground, not drawing enough current to trip the fuse.
Consequence, in the NHTSA record
This would cause the resistor temperature to rise to a point where it will melt and possibly ignite the plastic blower housing to which it is mounted. The overheating can result in a fire.
Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Double k in cooperation with trans air will install a thermal shutdown device in series with the speed resistors. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began during february 2011. Owners may contact trans air warranty and service center at 1-800-673-2446 and double k at 1-715-478-5090.
Report filed by DOUBLE K INC.. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 22 Feb 2011. The campaign has 18 make, model and year entries.
