NHTSA Campaign 12V342000
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
Issued by COLLINS BUS CORPORATION · Reported Jul 19, 2012 · 196 vehicles affected
What's wrong
Collins is recalling certain model year 2012 Collins, Mid-Bus, and Corbeil SL, SH, DH, and DE model school and multi-function school activity buses manufactured from March 12, 2012, through July 2, 2012. The electrical panel cover above the driver may not be adequately secured. Vibration can cause the designed disks to lose grip and release the cover without warning.
Consequence
The panel could fall and injure or distract the driver, leading to a crash.
Remedy
Collins will notify owners, and dealers will repair the buses free of charge. The safety recall began on August 13, 2012. Owners may contact Collins at 1-800-533-1850.
