The problem
Goshen Coach is recalling certain model year 2009 and 2010 GC II, Pacer II, Sentinel, G-Force, and Wolverine buses manufactured from August 3, 2009, through May 24, 2010, equipped with A&M Systems door headers containing model 3230 circuit boards. Voltage spikes may damage electrical components and electrical circuits, causing the circuit board to develop high resistance.
The risk
High resistance may cause the board to overheat, increasing the risk of a fire.
The fix
Goshen Coach will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the door header and replace any defective circuit board, free of charge. The safety recall began during October 2013. Owners may contact Goshen Coach at 1-574-970-6300.
