2001 Daimlerchrysler SLF recalls
Recall 05V-456: Electrical System
Problem: On certain transit buses equipped with sure power battery equalizers, p/n 52210 24v/12v 100 amp series 1, the equalizers may experience a failure mode. These equalizers used an inductor with the coils protected by insulation. Over time, the inductor insulation may degrade creating a short.
Risk: The shorted inductor may cause the battery equalizer to smoke or burn, and possibly result in a fire.
Fix: Sure power will notify DC's customers and replace the equalizers free of charge. Owners may contact sure power at 1-800-845-6269 ext. 113.
Recall 04V-505: Equipment Adaptive/Mobility
Problem: Certain transit buses equipped with sure-lok wheelchair tie-down securement assemblies. The sprocket teeth of the retractor assembly may be out of alignment causing the load pawl not to fully seat in the sprocket teeth.
Risk: In the event of a vehicle crash, the wheelchair may not be adequately secured possibly resulting in injuries.
Fix: Sure-lok will provide a free remedy on behalf of daimlerchrysler. Dealers will inspect and replace the wheelchair securement retractors as necessary. Owners should contact sure-lok at 1-866-787-3565 or daimlerchrysler at 336-454-3484.
