What's wrong?
The Carrier K410 rooftop condenser on the 2009 Turtle Top Odyssey Xl bus is part of the air-conditioning system. It sits on the roof and helps release heat from the refrigerant so the air conditioner can keep blowing cool air inside the bus. Fans in the condenser move air across the coils while the system is running.
In this recall, one or more condenser fans lack enough overcurrent protection. That protection is the electrical safeguard meant to limit current when a fan circuit draws too much power. Without enough protection, the fan wiring can overheat instead of shutting down cleanly or being protected by the circuit.
There is no warning sign before failure. Owners and operators should not rely on a dashboard message, noise, smell, or air-conditioning change to know the wiring is overheating.
