What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

ON CERTAIN DIESEL BUSES BUILT ON FORD E-350 AND E-450 CHASSIS AND EQUIPPED WITH CARRIER VACUUM PUMP BRACKETS, THE BRACKETS COULD BREAK.

The risk

WHEN THE BRACKET BREAKS, THE VACUUM PUMP THAT PROVIDES THE POWER TO THE POWER BRAKES BECOMES INOPERATIVE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. ALSO, THE POWER STEERING COULD BE AFFECTED IF THE BELT GETS INTO THE OTHER BELTS.

The remedy

DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE BRACKETS. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JANUARY 21, 2005. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT DIAMOND COACH AT 1-620-795-2191.

Notes

CUSTOMERS CAN ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-327-4236.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
