Recall 14V060 covers 171 2009-2010 Vip/Pt 2000, 2200, 2500, 2800, 3200 and 3201 buses for overheating door-actuator circuit boards. Free repair at any franchised Vip/Pt dealer.
Vip/Pt is recalling 171 2009-2010 transit buses, including 2000, 2200, 2500, 2800, 3200, and 3201 models, because voltage spikes can damage A&M Systems door actuator circuit boards. High resistance can overheat the board and increase fire risk; the dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?
The door actuator on these 2009-2010 Vip/Pt 2000, 2200, 2500, 2800, 3200, and 3201 transit buses is the electric mechanism that opens and closes the passenger door. It uses a circuit board to control power to the actuator, so the door responds when the driver commands it. That board has to handle normal vehicle voltage without overheating or building resistance.
On affected buses, the A&M Systems door actuator contains a model 3230 circuit board that is vulnerable to voltage spikes. A spike can damage electrical components and circuits on the board. Once that damage builds high resistance, the actuator no longer has a clean electrical path, and the passenger door system fails to work as designed.
There is no warning sign before failure. The first thing an operator notices is the door actuator not responding correctly, or the passenger door not opening or closing the way it should.
Who's affected?
Covers six Vip/Pt bus models across the 2009 and 2010 model years, all tied to electrical equipment.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific bus is included.
What's the safety risk?
High electrical resistance in the circuit board can make the board overheat and increase the risk of a fire. If your VIN is included, schedule the recall repair soon and follow dealer instructions for the affected circuit board. Repair will be free at any franchised Vip/Pt dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2009-2010 Vip/Pt 2000, 2200, 2500, 2800, 3200, or 3201 transit bus is included in this recall.
- Watch for the Vip/Pt owner notice and keep it with the bus records.
- Call Vip/Pt customer service at 1-800-442-4645 with questions and reference recall number 14V060.
- Schedule the free circuit-board replacement that fixes the door-actuator electrical board that can overheat.
- Keep the bus parked away from heat-sensitive areas until the electrical repair is complete.
What happens at the repair
Diamond Coach's filing lists a free dealer replacement for the affected door actuator circuit boards. Because the remedy status is not marked available, confirm scheduling before bringing in the bus. Once the repair is open, a Vip/Pt technician replaces the affected circuit boards in the A&M Systems door actuators. Parts and labor are covered under recall 14V060, with no charge for the recall work.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 14V060?
Recall 14V060 covers 171 2009-2010 Vip/Pt 2000, 2200, 2500, 2800, 3200, and 3201 transit buses with A&M Systems door-actuator circuit boards. Voltage spikes can damage the board, create high resistance, and overheat the board, increasing fire risk.
What should I do if my 2009-2010 Vip/Pt 2000, 2200, 2500, 2800, 3200, or 3201 is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific bus is included in recall 14V060. If it is, contact a franchised Vip/Pt dealer or Diamond Coach at 1-800-442-4645 to schedule replacement of the affected door-actuator circuit boards. The repair is free.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to repair the defect at no cost, and Diamond Coach said dealers will replace the affected circuit boards free of charge. The recall began in March 2014.
What is the safety risk?
The safety risk is fire. The recalled A&M Systems door-actuator circuit board can develop high resistance after voltage-spike damage. That high resistance can overheat the board, increasing fire risk until the affected circuit boards are replaced.
What if I bought this Vip/Pt bus used?
The free repair still applies. Recall coverage follows the VIN, not the first owner. Check your VIN to confirm whether your 2009-2010 Vip/Pt bus is included, then reference recall 14V060 when you contact the dealer or Diamond Coach.
