    Equipment / Appliance / Air Conditioner

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Elkhart is recalling certain model year 2006-2010 eci and ecii vehicles manufactured from january 1, 2006, through december 31, 2010, and equipped with carrier genv em-1 evaporator units (em-1). 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
    Elkhart 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.

  3. 10V641000Received . 52 units.

    Equipment

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Elkhart coach 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
    Elkhart coach 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 on december 15, 2010. Owners may contact trans air warranty and service center at 1-800-673-2446.
