What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Diamond Coach Corporation is recalling certain model year 2009 through 2010 VIP/PT 2000, 2200, 2500, 2800, 3200, and 3201 transit buses equipped with A&M Systems-brand door actuators containing model 3230 circuit boards. Voltage spikes may damage the electrical components and electrical circuits of the door actuator, 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

Diamond Coach Corporation will notify owners, and dealers will replace the affected circuit boards, free of charge. The recall began in March 2014. Owners may contact Diamond Coach Corporation at 1-800-442-4645.

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.
