What is wrong
Turtle Top is recalling certain model year 2006-2014 Odyssey, 2011 Odyssey LT, 2006-2012 Terra Transport, 2014 Terra Transport, and 2014 Van Terra vehicles built on a GM chassis with a 6.6L engine. The affected transit buses and MPV specialty vehicles are equipped with Trans-Air add-on compressor mount kits, part numbers 4012506-01, 4012506-02, 4013126-01, 4013126-02, 4013235-01, 4013235-02, 4012909, 4013125, 4013222 and 717173 installed by Trans-Air personnel. After installing the compressor, a power distribution terminal strip may not have been properly reconnected.
What could happen
If the power distribution terminal strip has a poor connection or a loose connection, the strip may arc or overheat, increasing the risk of a vehicle fire.
The fix
Turtle Top will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the power distribution terminal strip connection, correcting it as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on August 19, 2015. Owners may contact Turtle Top customer service at 1-800-673-2446.
