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.

Plain-English summary
Goshen Coach is recalling certain model year 2009 and 2010 GC II, Pacer II, Sentinel, G-Force, and Wolverine buses manufactured between August 3, 2009, and May 24, 2010. The recall affects 709 vehicles equipped with A&M Systems door headers containing model 3230 circuit boards.
The defect involves voltage spikes that may damage electrical components and circuits, causing the circuit board to develop high resistance. This high resistance may cause the board to overheat, which increases the risk of a fire.
Goshen Coach will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the door header and replace any defective circuit board free of charge. The safety recall began in October 2013. Owners may contact Goshen Coach at 1-574-970-6300 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
