NHTSA recall 10V534000
Equipment
Goshen GC II
The defect
Goshen coach IS recalling certain model year 2006-2007 goshen gc II motor homes equipped with trans air ta 73 evaporators. the evaporator utilizes a power resistor to regulate blower speed. Should a short occur in the "low or medium speed" circuit while the blower IS in high speed, the short will cause the supply voltage to feedback through the resistor to ground, not drawing enough current to trip the fuse.
The risk
This would cause the resistor temperature to rise to a point where it will melt and possibly ignite the plastic blower housing to which it IS mounted. the overheating can result in a fire.
The remedy
Goshen coach in cooperation with trans air will install a thermal shutdown device in series with the speed resistors. this service will be performed free of charge. the safety recall began on november 4, 2010. owners may contact trans air warranty and service center at 1-800-673-2446.
