2008 Ford Odyssey recalls
Recall 12V-044: Equipment
Problem: Turtle top is recalling certain model 2008 through 2011 odyssey, odyssey xl, and odyssey lt vehicles manufactured from february 11, 2008, through october 26, 2011, and built on ford, general motors, and freightliner chassis, equipped with a carrier corporation gen V em-1 evaporator. The em-1 evaporators contain a fuse holder in the motor assembly which due to time, temperature, and/or vibration may cause the fuse to loosen in the fuse holder, resulting in high resistance and arcing.
Risk: If sufficient arcing occurs, the fuse holder may melt and potentially cause a fire.
Fix: Turtle top 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 march 21, 2012. (See carrier's recall campaign 11e-003.) owners may contact carrier at 1-800-348-7440.
Recall 10V-353: Equipment Adaptive/Mobility
Problem: Turtle top is recalling certain model year 2007 through 2010 transit and shuttle buses fitted with ricon public use lifts. The wheelchair lifts were to be equipped with a restraint buckle that has an interlock feature designed to prevent the lift from operating if the buckle is not latched. In the recalled buses, however, the interlock feature may not operate properly and the lift may operate even when the buckle is not latched.
Risk: The wheelchair may move during lift operation and the unsecured occupant, could be injured.
Fix: Turtle top is working with ricon and ricon will be handling the remedy for this campaign. Please see ricon's defect report 09e-060. Ricon will provide customers with a warning decal and a DVD-based training aid. The safety recall began on october 8, 2010. Owners may contact ricon customer service at 1-800-322-2884, or email at [email protected].
