What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Double K, Inc. (Double K) is recalling certain model year 2009-2010 Hometown Trolley Villager and Mainstreet trolleys equipped with A&M Systems-brand electric door actuators. Voltage spikes may damage certain electrical components and electrical circuits within the actuator, causing the circuit board to develop high resistance.

The risk

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

The remedy

Double K has notified owners, and dealers will replace the circuit board, free of charge. The recall began on April 9, 2014. Owners may contact Double K customer service at 1-715-478-5090.

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.
