1. 11V123000Received 21 Feb 2011. 2,017 units.

   Equipment / Appliance / Air Conditioner

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Goshen coach is recalling certain model year 2006-2011 buses 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.

   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

   Goshen coach 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 march 7, 2011. Owners may contact carrier's hotline at 1-800-793-4741.

   Report filed by GOSHEN COACH. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 7 Mar 2011.

2. 10V120000Received 25 Mar 2010. 125 units.

   Equipment Adaptive/Mobility

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Goshen coach has notified NHTSA about a defect in certain model year 2008-2010 buses manufactured between september 2007 and february 2010, equipped with certain ricon s series and k series l-model wheelchair lifts, due to a problem in the software that controls the lift's "up" function. If the "up" switch is released before the floor level limit switch is activated, the lift may continue its upward travel for approximately 1 second before stopping. The continued upward travel may overrun the floor level cut off point.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   When the platform overruns the vehicle floor level and stops at an angle from 15-20 degrees, it is possible for a person in a wheelchair to tip over and for someone standing on the platform to fall, possibly resulting in injuries.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Goshen coach will notify owners and the repairs will be performed by authorized ricon dealers please see ricon's defect report 09e-061. Ricon will provide owners with a bulletin outlining proper wheelchair lift operation and will ship owners a dvd-based training aid to promote proper lift operation. The safety recall began on april 5, 2010. Owners may contact ricon customer service at 1-800-322-2884, emailing at www.dmata@wabtec.com.

   Report filed by GOSHEN COACH. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 5 Apr 2010.

3. 10V116000Received 24 Mar 2010. 529 units.

   Equipment Adaptive/Mobility

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Goshen coach has notified NHTSA of a defect in certain model year 2008-2010 pacer ls, pacer LTD, pacer II, gcii, and sentinel buses fitted with ricon public use lifts. The restraint belt on these lifts was designed to prevent the lift from moving, unless the tongue of the belt is fully engaged and latched in the buckle. Ricon has discovered, however, that it is possible for the operator to insert the belt tongue into the buckle without fully engaging the latching mechanism. In this case, the restraint belt would appear to be latched, and the operator could run the lift. If the restraint belt tongue is not fully engaged into the restraint belt buckle, and latched, the lift may operate with an occupant on the platform.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   The user of the lift could be injured should the lift move without the restraint belt properly buckled.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Goshen coach is working with ricon and ricon will be handling the remedy for this campaign. Please see ricon's defect report 09e-060. Ricon will provide customers with a warning decal and a dvd-based training aid. The recall began april 9, 2010. Owners may contact ricon customer service at1-800-322-2884 or by email at www.dmata@wabtec.com.

   Report filed by GOSHEN COACH. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 9 Apr 2010.

4. 08V147000Received 28 Mar 2008. 518 units.

   Equipment Adaptive/Mobility

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Goshen coach is recalling 518 my 2005-2008 gcii, pacer II, pacer ls, pacer LTD, sentinel, and euroshuttle buses equipped with ricon platform style wheelchair lifts. These buses fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 404, "platform lift installations in motor vehicles." the threshold warning system may not detect the presence of a wheelchair or mobility aid user in a certain spot within the defined threshold area.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   The user of the lift could be injured should the lift move unintentionally.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Goshen coach is working with ricon to correct the wheelchair lifts free of charge (please see 07e095). Owners may contact ricon at 1-818-267-3000 or goshen coach at 1-574-970-6300.

   Exterior Lighting

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Certain buses fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment." the buses were built without the required reflex reflectors on the rear and rear side and, on certain models, the side intermediate reflectors are missing.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   Missing reflectors could lead to reduced visibility of the bus increasing the risk of a crash.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Goshen will mail the required reflectors along with installation instructions to owners. If the customer is uncomfortable in performing this procedure, they may take the bus to any goshen coach dealer to have the reflectors installed free of charge. The recall began on november 5, 2007. Owners may contact goshen coach at 1-877-734-4943.
