The defect
Goshen Coach (Goshen) is recalling certain model year 2006-2015 GCII vehicles manufactured January 1, 2006, through February 28, 2015 on GM chassis. The affected vehicles are equipped with Trans-Air add-on compressor mount kits, part numbers 4012506-01, 4012506-02, 4013126-01, 4013126-02, 4013235-01, 4013235-02, 4012909, 4013125, 4013222 and 717173 installed by Trans-Air personnel. After installing the compressor, a power distribution terminal strip may not have been properly reconnected.

If the power distribution terminal strip has a poor connection or a loose connection, the strip may arc or overheat, increasing the risk of a vehicle fire.
The remedy
Goshen will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the power distribution terminal strip connection, correcting it as necessary, free of charge. The recall began in June 2015. Owners may contact Goshen customer service at 1-574-206-7004 or Trans/Air at 1-800-673-2446.
