What's wrong
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: SCHOOL BUSES. THE CERTIFICATION LABEL FOR THESE BUSES WAS INCORRECTLY IMPRINTED "MULTIPURPOSE VEHICLE" INSTEAD OF "BUS/NON SCHOOL BUS." THIS DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF PART 567, "CERTIFICATION."
The risk
THESE VEHICLES WOULD NOT BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL REGULATIONS.
The fix
OWNERS WILL BE MAILED CORRECTED CERTIFICATION LABELS AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
OWNER NOTIFICATION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN NOVEMBER 20, 1998.OWNERS WHO DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE CORRECTED CERTIFICATION LABEL WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT VAN-CON AT 1-732-356-8484.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
Whether a particular car is affected and still unrepaired depends on its VIN — a model year being listed does not mean every car of that year is included. Check any VIN free on CarLogs, or at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
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.
