Vip/Pt recall: Equipment
What is wrong
Diamond Coach Corporation is recalling certain model year 2009 through 2010 VIP/PT 2000, 2200, 2500, 2800, 3200, and 3201 transit buses equipped with A&M Systems-brand door actuators containing model 3230 circuit boards. Voltage spikes may damage the electrical components and electrical circuits of the door actuator, causing the circuit board to develop high resistance.
What could happen
High resistance may cause the board to overheat, increasing the risk of a fire.
The fix
Diamond Coach Corporation will notify owners, and dealers will replace the affected circuit boards, free of charge. The recall began in March 2014. Owners may contact Diamond Coach Corporation at 1-800-442-4645.
