What this means for you

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (electrical system) that explicitly increases the risk of a fire, meeting the criteria for a Severe (4) rating.

Plain-English summary

Tiffany Coach Builders is recalling certain model year 2009-2010 Coach, Limo, and Shuttle Buses built on Ford E-450 and E550 chassis. These vehicles are equipped with A&M Systems-brand door actuators. The recall involves 24 affected vehicles.

Voltage spikes may damage electrical components and electrical 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.

Tiffany will work with A&M Systems to notify owners, and dealers will replace the circuit board free of charge. The recall began on February 26, 2014. Owners may contact Tiffany at 1-800-338-5872 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
