What is wrong
CERTAIN GRAHAM WHITE AIR DRYER AND AIR DRYER REPLACEMENT ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES, MODELS QBA15 AND EC15, MANUFACTURED BETWEEN JULY 11 AND DECEMBER 20, 2006, INSTALLED AS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT FOR TRANSIT AND COMMERCIAL BUSES AND SOLD AS REPLACEMENT EQUIPMENT. THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE CIRCUIT CAN FAIL WHICH WILL CAUSE THE AIR DRYER TO STOP FUNCTIONING LEADING TO PASSING OF WET AIR INTO THE AIR RECEIVER TANK DOWNSTREAM OF THE AIR DRYER. IF THE DRYER CONTINUES TO MALFUNCTION OVER AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME, EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF WATER CAN ACCUMULATE AND, IN FREEZING TEMPATURES, MAY AFFECT THE PREFORMANCE OF THE AIR BRAKES.
What can happen
WATER IN THE VEHICLE'S AIR SYSTEM CAN AFFECT BRAKE PERFORMANCE AND COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS WILL NOTIFY THEIR OWNERS AND REPLACE THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES OF THE AFFECTED AIR DRYERS FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING MARCH 2007. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT THEIR VEHICLE MANUFACTURER OR GRAHAM-WHITE AT 540-387-5620.

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.
