What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

ON CERTAIN SCHOOL BUSES, THE CERTIFICATE LABEL FOR THE RIM SIZE IS INCORRECT.

The risk

THESE BUSES DO NOT COMPLY WITH FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 120, "TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS FOR MOTOR VEHICLES OTHER THAN PASSENGER CARS."

The remedy

LIBERTY WILL NOTIFY ITS CUSTOMERS AND MAIL CORRECT LABELS AND REPLACE THE RIMS FREE OF CHARGE, IF NECESSARY. OWNER NOTIFICATION WAS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING JANUARY 2004. 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 LIBERTY BUS AT 419-227-6554.

Notes

ALSO, CUSTOMERS CAN CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
