2008 Ford Odyssey problems

What is wrong

Turtle top is recalling certain model 2008 through 2011 odyssey, odyssey xl, and odyssey lt vehicles manufactured from february 11, 2008, through october 26, 2011, and built on ford, general motors, and freightliner chassis, equipped with a carrier corporation gen v em-1 evaporator. The em-1 evaporators contain a fuse holder in the motor assembly which due to time, temperature, and/or vibration may cause the fuse to loosen in the fuse holder, resulting in high resistance and arcing.

Risk

If sufficient arcing occurs, the fuse holder may melt and potentially cause a fire.

Remedy

Turtle top 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 safety recall began on march 21, 2012. (see carrier's recall campaign 11e-003.) owners may contact carrier at 1‑800‑348‑7440.
