Equipment › Appliance › Air Conditioner — Diamond Coach · reported 1 Jun 2009 · 10 vehicles potentially affected
What's wrong
DIAMOND COACH IS RECALLING 10 MODEL YEAR 2008 AND 2009 VIP MOTOR COACHES MANUFACTURED BETWEEN NOVEMBER 25, 2008 AND MARCH 23, 2009, EQUIPPED WITH CARRIER K410 ROOFTOP MOUNTED CONDENSERS. THE COVER OF THE CONDENSER ASSEMBLY MAY INTERFERE WITH THE COIL HEADER WHEN THE COVER IS PLACED ON THE UNIT ASSEMBLY. THE POTENTIAL INTERFERENCE PREVENTS THE COVER FROM RESTING ON THE UNIT MOUNTING SURFACE, CREATING A GAP BETWEEN THE COVER AND UNIT ASSEMBLY.
The risk
THIS CONDITION WILL NOT PERMIT THE COVER FASTENERS TO SECURELY CLAMP THE COVER TO THE UNIT ASSEMBLY, WHICH MAY RESULT IN THE COVER DISLOCATING FROM THE UNIT DURING OPERATION, POSSIBLY CAUSING A CRASH OR CAUSE INJURY TO PEDESTRIANS.
The fix
DIAMOND COACH WILL REPAIR THE COACHES FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON JUNE 11, 2009. OWNERS MAY CONTACT DIAMOND COACH TOLL-FREE AT 1-800-673-2431 EXT. 21.
