What’s wrong with it?
THIS CONDITION WILL NOT PERMIT THE COVER FASTENERS TO SECURELY CLAMP THE COVER TO THE UNIT ASSEMBLY, WHICH MAY RESULT IN THE COVER DISLOCATING FROM THE UNIT DURING BUS OPERATION, POSSIBLY CAUSING A CRASH OR CAUSE INJURY TO PEDESTRIANS.
CARRIER IS RECALLING 141 ROOFTOP MOUNTED CONDENSER ASSEMBLIES, MODEL K410 WITH P/NO. 77-62198-00, MANUFACTURED BETWEEN JANUARY 1, 2008 AND JANUARY 30, 2009, INSTALLED AS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT FOR USE ON VARIOUS SMALL TRANSIT BUSES.
THE COVER OF THE CONDENSER ASSEMBLY MAY INTERFERE WITH THE COIL HEADER WHEN THE COVER IS PLACED ON THE UNIT ASSEMBLY.
THE POTENTIAL INTERFERENCE PREVENTS THE COVER FROM RESTING ON THE UNIT MOUNTING SURFACE, CREATING A GAP BETWEEN THE COVER AND UNIT ASSEMBLY.

What the record doesn’t say
- NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
- Which ones, by part or lot: the recall’s report on NHTSA’s site gives them where the maker did; this file gives part numbers only where its maker listed them.
- How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
