DEFECT #3 - EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE
Posted on: 2008-02-14
Description
Goshen coach is recalling 90 my 2006-2007 gc ii buses built on general motors 560 chassis and equipped with intermotive gateway 401 module interlock harness. These buses have been found to exhibit extreme voltage spikes during engine cranking. These extreme spikes can damage the diode in the harness near the shift lock solenoid connector. If the diode fails in the shorted condition, the gateway 401 module can be damaged.
Consequence
If this occurs, the shift lock solenoid may not engage. If this lock does not engage, the vehicle will have the ability to move while the wheelchair lift is deployed which may result in personal injury.

Posted on: 2008-11-04
Description
Goshen is recalling 309 my 2005-2007 gcii, pacer ii, pacer ltd, and sentinel buses equipped with ricon platform style wheelchair lifts. These lifts fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 403, platform lift systems for motor vehicles. The anti-stow interlock may not detect the presence of a wheelchair or mobility aid user.

DEFECT #7 - EQUIPMENT
Posted on: 2010-11-02
Description
Goshen coach is recalling certain model year 2006-2007 goshen gc ii motor homes equipped with trans air ta 73 evaporators. The evaporator utilizes a power resistor to regulate blower speed. Should a short occur in the low or medium speed circuit while the blower is in high speed, the short will cause the supply voltage to feedback through the resistor to ground, not drawing enough current to trip the fuse.
Consequence
This would cause the resistor temperature to rise to a point where it will melt and possibly ignite the plastic blower housing to which it is mounted. The overheating can result in a fire.
Corrective Action
Goshen coach in cooperation with trans air will install a thermal shutdown device in series with the speed resistors. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on november 4, 2010. Owners may contact trans air warranty and service center at 1-800-673-2446.

Posted on: 2007-11-01
Description
On certain shuttle buses, the axle side lateral control rod bracket of the suspension has cracked in some cases.
Consequence

DEFECT #9 - EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Posted on: 2007-10-02
Description
Certain buses fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 108, lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment.
