What happened

Braun is recalling certain model year 2005 through 2011 paratransit vans built on Ford E-350 chassis that are equipped with Carrier GENV EM-1 evaporator units containing specific Delphi fuse holders. Due to time, temperature, and vibration, the fuse may loosen in the fuse holder, which can cause high resistance and arcing. If sufficient arcing occurs, the fuse holder may melt and may be accompanied by flame, smoke, and potential fire.

Owners of affected vehicles will be notified and instructed to contact either Carrier at 1-800-793-4741 or a Braun dealer to obtain a free remedy. The safety recall began on March 17, 2011.
