The problem

Elkhart Coach (Elkhart) is recalling certain model year 2009-2010 ECII transit buses manufactured August 1, 2009, through March 31, 2010, and equipped with A&M Systems-brand electric door actuators. Voltage spikes may damage 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 fix

Elkhart will notify owners, and dealers will replace any affected circuit board, free of charge. The recall began on March 24, 2014. Owners may contact Elkhart at 1-574-522-0246.

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.
