What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Stallion Bus and Transit Corp. (Stallion Bus) is recalling certain model year 2013 900 series transit buses manufactured from March 1, 2013, through October 31, 2013. The 12 volt to 24 volt power converter on the wiper system may shut off when the wiper speed is changed resulting in a loss of wiper function.

The risk

Visibility will be reduced should the wiper assembly stop working during operation, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.

The remedy

All of the affected buses were repaired on April 30, 2014. Therefore, an owner notification letter will not be issued for this recall campaign. Owners may contact Stallion Bus customer service at 1-631-270-3800.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

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.
