What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Champion Bus, Inc. (Champion) is recalling certain 2016-2018 Federal Coach Spirit vehicles. If the observation window that is located above the windshield is hit by road debris, it may shatter, resulting in glass falling into the driver and/or passenger compartment.

The risk

Glass that falls into the driver or passenger compartment can increase the risk of a crash or an injury.

The remedy

Champion will notify owners and dealers will replace the glass free of charge . The recall began January 9, 2019. Owners may contact Champion customer service at 1-810-724-1753 extension 415.

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.
