NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published
The defect
CERTAIN BUSES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 108, "LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVICES, AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT." THE BUSES WERE BUILT WITHOUT THE REQUIRED REFLEX REFLECTORS ON THE REAR AND REAR SIDE AND, ON CERTAIN MODELS, THE SIDE INTERMEDIATE REFLECTORS ARE MISSING.
The risk
MISSING REFLECTORS COULD LEAD TO REDUCED VISIBILITY OF THE BUS INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
The remedy
GOSHEN WILL MAIL THE REQUIRED REFLECTORS ALONG WITH INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS TO OWNERS. IF THE CUSTOMER IS UNCOMFORTABLE IN PERFORMING THIS PROCEDURE, THEY MAY TAKE THE BUS TO ANY GOSHEN COACH DEALER TO HAVE THE REFLECTORS INSTALLED FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON NOVEMBER 5, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT GOSHEN COACH AT 1-877-734-4943.

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.
