EQUIPMENT:OTHER:LABELS

Issued by Collins Bus Corporation · Reported Sep 19, 2022 · 3,514 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Collins Bus is recalling certain 2012-2020 Ford SL, Ford SH, Ford DH, Ford DE, Ford TH, Ford TL, Chevy DE, and Chevy DH school buses. The emergency exit label may be placed in the incorrect location and the lettering height may not be high enough. As such, these vehicles fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 217, "Bus Emergency Exits and Window Retention and Release."

Consequence

In an emergency, the incorrect window label instructions may prevent or delay the use of the emergency exit, increasing the risk of injury.

Remedy

Collins Bus will mail new labels, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on November 21, 2022. Owners may contact Collins Bus' customer service at 1-800-533-1850 ext. 424.
