What's wrong?

The add-on A/C compressor on 2006-2015 Goshen Gcii buses is driven by an added crank pulley on GM 6.6L engines. Its mount kit also involves wiring at a power distribution terminal strip near the front of the engine compartment. That terminal strip is the connection point that feeds electrical power through a secured cable and stud.

On affected buses, the cable routed across the top of the fan shroud was not always returned to the terminal strip in the correct position after the Trans-Air compressor installation. If the cable sits angled over the edge of the strip, the connection can loosen or make poor contact. A poor connection builds heat and arcing at the stud, which creates an ignition source under the hood.

Owners or maintenance staff can notice a smell of smoke or heat from under the hood. The terminal at the stud can also be hot to the touch, but the filing also says there can be no symptoms before the connection overheats.

What's the safety risk?

A poor or loose power distribution terminal strip connection can arc or overheat and increase the risk of a vehicle fire. Treat a smoke smell, heat from under the hood, or a hot terminal stud as a reason to stop and call the dealer. Repair will be free at any franchised Goshen dealer once available.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2006-2015 Goshen Gcii is included in this recall.
  2. Call Goshen customer service at 1-574-206-7004 to confirm the recall notice and dealer instructions for your VIN.
  3. Contact a franchised Goshen dealer to ask about the free power-distribution-terminal-strip inspection that addresses loose air-conditioning compressor wiring.
  4. Bring the recall notice if you have it. If not, reference recall number 15V328 when you call.
  5. Avoid using the add-on air conditioner until the power distribution terminal strip connection has been inspected and corrected.

What happens at the repair

Goshen's remedy calls for a dealer inspection of the power distribution terminal strip connection on the Trans/Air compressor mount kit wiring. When the repair is open for your VIN, a Goshen technician checks that terminal strip connection and corrects the connection as needed. The final dealer repair will be free once available, with parts and labor covered under the recall. The recall began in June 2015, but the remedy status provided here is not listed as available, so confirm the repair is open for your VIN before arranging service.
