Recall 02V115000
Electrical System › Wiring — Startrans Bus · reported 17 Apr 2002 · 8 vehicles potentially affected
What's wrong
ON CERTAIN 29' PROPANE POWERED BUSES, THE INERTIA SWITCH IS CURRENTLY MOUNTED UNDER THE DASH.
The risk
DUE TO EXCESSIVE VIBRATION, THE SWITCH COULD ACTIVATE DURING NORMAL OPERATION CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
The fix
DEALERS WILL RELOCATE THE SWITCH TO THE CHASSIS FRAME RAIL. SUPREME HAS NOT YET PROVIDED AN OWNER NOTIFICATION SCHEDULE. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT SUPREME AT 1-219-642-4730.
CUSTOMERS CAN ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
Vehicles covered by this recall

Is this car's recall fixed?
Recall repairs are free at any franchised dealer, for the life of the vehicle. A CarLogs report shows the recall status for a specific VIN as reported by the manufacturer — whether it's open or repaired, and whether the fix is available yet.
