What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Goshen Coach is recalling certain model year 2009 and 2010 GC II, Pacer II, Sentinel, G-Force, and Wolverine buses manufactured from August 3, 2009, through May 24, 2010, equipped with A&M Systems door headers containing model 3230 circuit boards. Voltage spikes may damage electrical components and electrical circuits, causing the circuit board to develop high resistance.

The risk

High resistance may cause the board to overheat, increasing the risk of a fire.

The remedy

Goshen Coach will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the door header and replace any defective circuit board, free of charge. The safety recall began during October 2013. Owners may contact Goshen Coach at 1-574-970-6300.

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.
