Plain-English summary

Goshen Coach is recalling certain model year 2006-2015 GCII vehicles manufactured between January 1, 2006, and February 28, 2015, on GM chassis. The recall affects vehicles equipped with specific Trans-Air add-on compressor mount kits installed by Trans-Air personnel. The affected part numbers include 4012506-01, 4012506-02, 4013126-01, 4013126-02, 4013235-01, 4013235-02, 4012909, 4013125, 4013222, and 717173.

The defect involves the power distribution terminal strip, which may not have been properly reconnected after the compressor installation. If the connection is poor or loose, the strip may arc or overheat, which increases the risk of a vehicle fire.

Goshen will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the power distribution terminal strip connection and correct it as necessary, free of charge. The recall began in June 2015. Owners may contact Goshen customer service at 1-574-206-7004 or Trans/Air at 1-800-673-2446.
