What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a potential vehicle fire hazard, which aligns with the rubric criterion for 'significant injury/property-damage reports' or structural/electrical defects posing a high risk of severe harm.

Plain-English summary

Molly Corporation is recalling certain model year 2006 and 2007 Transit Buses built on Ford and Freightliner chassis. These vehicles are equipped with Carrier GENV EM-1 evaporator units. The recall involves a total of 10 affected vehicles.

The defect involves a fuse that may loosen in the fuse holder due to time, temperature, and/or vibration. This loosening can result in high resistance and arcing. If sufficient arcing occurs, the fuse holder may melt, potentially leading to a vehicle fire.

Molly will notify owners and provide information on how to obtain a retrofit kit from Carrier, along with repair instructions. This service will be performed free of charge. Owners may also contact Carrier at 1-800-793-4741 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
