Defect SummaryTurtle top is recalling certain model year 2001-2007 transit buses built on various gm and ford chassis from august 2, 1999 through september 1, 2007, equipped with trans/air ta73 evaporators. the evaporator utilizes a power resistor to regulate blower speed. should a short occur in the low or medium speed circuit while the blower is in high speed, the short will cause the supply voltage to feedback through the resistor to ground, not drawing enough current to trip the fuse.
Consequence SummaryThis would cause the resistor temperature to rise to a point where it will melt and possibly ignite the plastic blower housing to which it is mounted. the overheating can result in a fire.
Corrective SummaryTrans/air, in cooperation with turtl top, will install a thermal shutdown device in series with the speed resistors. this service will be performed free of charge. the safety recall began on november 24, 2010. owners may contact trans/air warranty and service center at 1-800-673-2446.

Defect SummaryTurtle top is recalling certain model year 2007 through 2010 transit and shuttle buses fitted with ricon public use lifts. the wheelchair lifts were to be equipped with a restraint buckle that has an interlock feature designed to prevent the lift from operating if the buckle is not latched. in the recalled buses, however, the interlock feature may not operate properly and the lift may operate even when the buckle is not latched.
Consequence SummaryThe wheelchair may move during lift operation and the unsecured occupant, could be injured.
