What is wrong
ON CERTAIN DIESEL BUSES BUILT ON FORD E-SERIES CHASSIS AND EQUIPPED WITH CARRIER AIR CONDITIONING, THE MOUNTING BRACKET WELDS CAN BREAK OR FALL OFF.
What can happen
IF THE WELD BREAKS OR FALLS OFF, THE VACUUM PUMP COULD SHIFT CAUSING THE MISALIGNMENT AND EVENTUALLY LOSE THE DRIVE BELT WHICH COULD LEAD TO THE LOSS OF THE PRIMARY BRAKING SYSTEM, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A VEHICLE CRASH.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
CARRIER IS CONDUCTING THE OWNER NOTIFICATION AND REMEDY FOR THIS CAMPAIGN. CARRIER WILL INSPECT THE WELDS FOR CRACKING AND RE-WELD AS NECESSARY, FREE OF CHARGE. OWNERS MAY CONTACT CARRIER SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT 1-800-450-2211.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
