Description Turtle Top is recalling certain model year 2010-2012 Limo Coach, 2010-2013 Odyssey and Van Terra, 2010-2011 Odyssey LT, 2011-2012 Odyssey XL MPV, 2011-2013 Odyssey XL, 2011 Odyssey MPV and 2010 and 2012 Van Terra MPV transit buses and speciality built on Ford chassis equipped with a Ford 5.4L or 6.8L engine and a Trans/Air-brand air compressor. In the affected vehicles, depending on the routing of the alternator harness, and the orientation of the heater hose spring clamp at the front of the intake manifold, the alternator harness may be pinched between the spring clamp and the air conditioner compressor mounting bracket.
Consequences The charging system may fail which could lead to the vehicle stalling while driving, increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, the spring clamp could pierce both the positive and negative wires of the alternator harness creating a short circuit which could result in a fire.
Corrective action Turtle Top will notify owners, and Trans/Air dealers will inspect the vehicles, correct the clamp installation and repair and reroute the alternator harness, as needed, free of charge. The recall began on February 17, 2014. Customers may contact Turtle Top at 1-574-831-4340.
