Carrier recall: Equipment
What is wrong
Carrier is recalling certain carrier genv em-1 evaporator units (em-1) manufactured from january 1, 2006 through december 2010, containing a delphi pack-con III fuse holder in an allied motion motor assembly; em-1 unit part numbers 77-62112-xx and 77-62512-xx, starting with serial number knt90890232 to serial number nne91230058, sold as aftermarket equipment and installed as original equipment on certain school and shuttle buses. Due to time, temperature, and/or vibration, the fuse may loosen in the fuse holder resulting in high resistance and arcing.
What could happen
If sufficient arcing occurs, the fuse holder may melt, and may be accompanied by flame, smoke and potential fire.
The fix
Carrier will notify bus manufacturers, carrier authorized dealers as well as, to the extent known by carrier, owners of record which purchased the affected units. Carrier is working with the bus manufacturers and carrier authorized dealers to identify and notify owners of the buses which may have had the affected em-1 unit sold as original equipment or as an aftermarket installation. Carrier will provide a retrofit kit along with repair instructions free of charge. The safety recall began on january 31, 2011. Owners may contact their vehicle manufacturer or carrier at 1-800-793-4741.
