Does this affect my vehicle?
The manufacturer did not publish a build-date range for this recall, so the model and year list below is the only way to tell whether your vehicle is covered.
- Carrier Bracket
What the defect is
Certain carrier air conditioner mounting bracket kits manufactured between january 1 and september 1, 2004, p/n 86-62400-00. These kits are designed for use on certain ford e-series chassis with 6.0L diesel engines. The weldment can break or fall off.
What could happen
If the weldment breaks or falls off, the carrier supplied compressor and ford original equipment vacuum pump could shift causing the misalignment and eventual loss of the drive belt which could eventually lead to the loss of the primary braking system, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.
What gets fixed
CARRIER WILL NOTIFY CUSTOMERS AND INSPECT THE WELDMENTS FOR CRACKING AND REPLACE THE WELDMENT AS NECESSARY, FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON APRIL 22, 2005.

Your rights
A safety recall repair is free. Under US federal law the manufacturer must fix a safety defect at no cost to you — no charge for parts, labor or diagnosis — whether or not you are the original owner. A dealer cannot charge you for recall work, and cannot require you to have bought the vehicle from them.
That entitlement is not unlimited. It applies where the vehicle was first sold less than 15 years before the recall was announced — 5 years for tires. Past that a manufacturer may still do the repair free of charge, and many do, but they are no longer obliged to. This recall was reported on 14 March 2005.
To arrange the repair, contact any franchised dealer for the brand. If a dealer refuses the work or tries to charge for it, you can report that to NHTSA at nhtsa.gov/recalls or on 1-888-327-4236.

Everything on this page — the models listed, the build dates and the repair figures — comes from the manufacturer's filing to NHTSA and describes the vehicle line as a whole, not any individual car. Only the manufacturer can confirm whether a specific vehicle is affected, and whether its recall work has already been carried out. Check yours by VIN and read the official notice at nhtsa.gov/recalls.

Check your own vehicle
This page describes the recall, not any one car. To see which recalls cover a specific vehicle, search by make, model and year.
A VIN lookup here identifies your vehicle and shows recalls issued for that make, model and year. It cannot tell you what is still open on your individual car - only the manufacturer knows that. Search by VIN instead, or check your VIN at nhtsa.gov for whether a recall is still open on your individual car.
