Goshen GC II Recall 15V328: Loose Wiring Can Overheat and Cause a Fire

NHTSA campaign 15V328, reported May 29, 2015, 5 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Certain Goshen Coach GCII vehicles built on GM chassis were fitted with Trans-Air add-on air conditioning compressor mount kits. After the compressor was installed, a power distribution terminal strip may not have been properly reconnected. If that connection is poor or loose, the strip can arc or overheat.

Arcing and overheating electrical connections increase the risk of a vehicle fire. Owners should not ignore this recall, since the problem may not show obvious warning signs before it becomes dangerous.

Goshen will notify affected owners. Dealers will inspect the power distribution terminal strip connection and correct it as needed, free of charge. You can contact Goshen customer service at 1-574-206-7004 or Trans/Air at 1-800-673-2446, and you should check your vehicle identification number for open recalls.
