What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Tiffany Coach Builders (Tiffany) is recalling certain model year 2009-2010 Coach, Limo, and Shuttle Buses built on Ford E-450 and E550 chassis, equipped with A&M Systems-brand door actuators. 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

Tiffany will work with A&M Systems to notify owners and dealers will replace the circuit board, free of charge. The recall began February 26, 2014. Owners may contact Tiffany at 1-800-338-5872.

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.
