- The problem
- Glaval is recalling certain model year 2006 through 2007 transit buses built on ford, gmc, chevrolet, and freightliner chassis and equipped with carrier genv em-1 evaporator units. Due to time, temperature, and/or vibration, the fuse may loosen in the fuse holder resulting in high resistance and arcing.
- The risk
- If sufficient arcing occurs, the fuse holder may melt, and a vehicle fire may occur.
- The fix
- Glaval will notify owners and provide information on how to obtain the retrofit kit from carrier along with repair instructions. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on january 14, 2012. (See carrier's recall campaign 11e-003.) Owners may contact carrier at 1-800-348-7440.

2007 Glaval Concorde II recalls 3
Recall repairs are free. Your dealer fixes them whether or not you bought the car there - check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if yours is done. What to do
- The problem
- Glaval bus is recalling certain model year 2007 through 2010 transit buses manufactured between october 2007 through december 2009, equipped with certain ricon s series and k series l-model wheelchair lifts. Due to a problem in the software that controls the lift's "up" function, should the "up" switch be released before the floor level limit switch is activated, the lift may continue its upward travel and may overrun the floor level cut off point.
- The risk
- When the platform overruns the vehicle floor level and stops at an angle from 15-20 degrees, it is possible for a person in a wheelchair to tip over and for someone standing on the platform to fall, possibly resulting in injuries.
- The fix
- Glaval bus will notify owners and the repairs will be performed by authorized ricon dealers free of charge. A software solution for this safety defect is under investigation. Until the software solution is available, ricon will provide owners with a bulletin outlining proper wheelchair lift operation and will ship owners a dvd-based training aid to promote proper lift operation at no cost. The safety recall began on april 26, 2010. Owners may contact ricon at 1-818-267-3000 or glaval bus at 1-800-322-2884.
- The problem
- Certain transit buses equipped with braun platform lifts fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 404, "Platform lift installations in motor vehicles." A passenger can approach the exposed lift doorway without the audible alarm alerting them of their proximity to the threshold.
- The risk
- Should the threshold warning system fail to operate, the lift user can fall from the vehicle and be seriously injured.
- The fix
- Glaval is working with braun corporation to have the doorway lift fixed free of charge (please see 06e094). Owners may contact braun corporation at 1-800-946-7513 or glaval at 1-574-262-2212.
