What is wrong: Starcraft is recalling certain model year 2006 and 2007 transit buses built on ford and freightliner chassis and equipped with carrier genv em-1 evaporator units. Due to time, temperature, and/or vibration, the fuse may loosen in the fuse holder resulting in high resistance and arcing.
Risk: If sufficient arcing occurs, the fuse holder may melt, and a vehicle fire may occur.
Remedy: Starcraft 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.
