Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Glaval Bus is recalling certain 2010-2013 transit buses (Universal, Entourage, Concorde II, Titan, Titan II, and Legacy models) manufactured between June 1, 2010, and June 30, 2013, that are equipped with Ford 5.4L or 6.8L engines and Trans/Air-brand air conditioners. In these vehicles, the alternator harness may become pinched between a spring clamp at the front of the intake manifold and the air conditioner compressor mounting bracket, depending on how the harness is routed and how the clamp is oriented.
This pinching can cause the charging system to fail, potentially leading to the vehicle stalling while driving and increasing crash risk. Additionally, the spring clamp could pierce both the positive and negative wires in the alternator harness, creating a short circuit that could result in a fire. According to the record, affected owners will be notified, and Trans/Air dealers will inspect the vehicles, correct the clamp installation, and repair and reroute the alternator harness as needed at no cost. Owners should contact Glaval Bus at 1-574-262-2212 for more information.
