Electrical recalls for the 2002 Amtran FE
- The problem
- Vehicle description: certain buses were built with an improper connection of the heater harness from the heater switch to the connector just outside the heater unit. The assembly left a loose hot wire in the heater harness with an unprotected terminal that could cause a direct short. This wire is protected with a 20-ampere circuit protection, but in a rare case could cause a fire.
- The risk
- Electrical component failure without the correct protection in some cases can cause overheating of the component.
- The fix
- Owners will be provided with instructions on how to repair the defect. The repair procedure for this defect will require placing the connectors correctly in the terminals to the high-speed blower relay and harness connection at the heater. Owner notification began december 18, 2001. Owners who do not receive the free instructions within a reasonable time should contact amtran at 1-800-843-5615.
