Federal Coach recall: Electrical system
What is wrong
Federal Coach, Inc. (Federal) is recalling certain model year 2010 Spirit and Premier transit buses, equipped with A&M Systems-brand door actuators. Voltage spikes may damage electrical components and electrical circuits, causing the actuator's 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
Federal notified owners and dealers will replace the circuit board, free of charge. The recall began in June 2014. Owners may contact Federal at 1-800-348-7440.
