- Summary
- On certain diesel buses built on Ford e-series chassis and equipped with carrier air conditioning, the mounting bracket welds can break or fall off.
- Consequence
- If the weld breaks or falls off, the vacuum pump could shift causing the misalignment and eventually lose the drive belt which could lead to the loss of the primary braking system, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.
- Remedy
- Carrier is conducting the owner notification and remedy for this campaign. Carrier will inspect the welds for cracking and re-weld as necessary, free of charge. Owners may contact carrier service department at 1-800-450-2211.

Has your Coach and Equipment been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Coach and Equipment dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
