Blue Bird recall: Equipment
What is wrong
Truck services is recalling certain model year 2009 school buses built on blue bird chassis from january 2009 through december 2009 and equipped with 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. 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.
