Vehicle safety recall details from the Department of Transportation.

Description

Detailed recall information for NHTSA ID 10V532000 by Eldorado National-kansas. Includes 76 affected units, EVAPORATORS/POSSIBLE OVERHEATING/TRANS AIR, component: EQUIPMENT, and more from the Department of Transportation.

Defect Summary

Eldorado national is recalling certain model year 2007-2008 aerotech buses equipped with trans air ta 73 evaporators. the evaporator utilizes a power resistor to regulate blower speed. Should a short occur in the "low or medium speed" circuit while the blower is in high speed, the short will cause the supply voltage to feedback through the resistor to ground, not drawing enough current to trip the fuse.

Corrective Action

Eldorado in cooperation with trans air will install a thermal shutdown device in series with the speed resistors. this service will be performed free of charge. the safety recall began on november 4, 2010. owners may contact trans air warranty and service center at 1-800-673-2446.

Details

MFR Campaign Number: NR (Not Reported)

Recall Type: Vehicle

Defect Summary: Eldorado national is recalling certain model year 2007-2008 aerotech buses equipped with trans air ta 73 evaporators. the evaporator utilizes a power resistor to regulate blower speed. Should a short occur in the "low or medium speed" circuit while the blower is in high speed, the short will cause the supply voltage to feedback through the resistor to ground, not drawing enough current to trip the fuse.

Consequence Summary: This would cause the resistor temperature to rise to a point where it will melt and possibly ignite the plastic blower housing to which it is mounted. the overheating can result in a fire.

Corrective Action: Eldorado in cooperation with trans air will install a thermal shutdown device in series with the speed resistors. this service will be performed free of charge. the safety recall began on november 4, 2010. owners may contact trans air warranty and service center at 1-800-673-2446.
