What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The source text explicitly states that the defect can result in a fire, which aligns with the rubric criterion for 'significant injury/property-damage reports' or structural defects leading to severe hazards.

Plain-English summary

Goshen Coach is recalling certain model year 2006-2007 Goshen GC II motor homes equipped with Trans Air TA 73 evaporators. The recall involves 25 affected vehicles.

The evaporator uses a power resistor to regulate blower speed. If a short occurs in the low or medium speed circuit while the blower is in high speed, the supply voltage can feedback through the resistor to ground without drawing enough current to trip the fuse. This causes the resistor temperature to rise until it melts, potentially igniting the plastic blower housing to which it is mounted, resulting in a fire.

Goshen Coach, in cooperation with Trans Air, will install a thermal shutdown device in series with the speed resistors at no charge. The safety recall began on November 4, 2010. Owners may contact the Trans Air Warranty and Service Center at 1-800-673-2446 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
