Starcraft recall: Equipment
What is wrong
Starcraft is recalling certain model year 2006 and 2007 transit buses built on ford and freightliner chassis and 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.
What could happen
If sufficient arcing occurs, the fuse holder may melt, and a vehicle fire may occur.
The fix
Starcraft 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 recall began in november 2011. (see carrier's recall campaign 11e-003.) owners may contact carrier at 1-800-348-7440.
