What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Glaval Bus is recalling certain model year 2010-2013 Universal, Concorde II, Entourage, Primetime, Titan II, Apollo, and Sport buses, certain model year 2011-2013 Titan II lf and Legacy buses and certain model year 2010 Synergy buses. The affected buses are equipped with a rear interior air conditioner evaporator which may come loose from its ceiling mounting over time.

The risk

The evaporator unit may detach from the ceiling and fall increasing the risk of injury.

The remedy

Glaval will notify owners, and dealers will tighten and replace the air conditioner evaporator mounting bolts, as needed, free of charge. The recall began on July 8, 2013. Owners may contact Glaval at 1-800-445-2825 or [email protected].

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

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.
