- What is wrong
- New flyer is recalling 431 my 1996-2001 d60hf diesel transit buses equipped with a rooftop air conditioning evaporator. The evaporator drain lines make contact with components (ballast assemblies) within the interior lighting panel below the drain line port. This can result in either damage to the drain line, which introduces moisture into the lighting panel, or restriction of the line which results in a back-up and overflow of moisture through the fresh air return vent and back into the lighting panel.
- Risk
- Moisture in sufficient quantities within the lighting panel may result in a shorting of the electrical components and a vehicle fire.
- Remedy
- New flyer will incorporate an elbow fitting into the drain line where it enters the lighting panel from the roof, which will promote clearance between the line and the ballast assembly. The recall began on february 6, 2008. Owners may contact new flyer at 1‑204‑934‑4803.
