What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

CERTIFICATION LABELS AFFIXED TO SOME OF THE INVOLVED VEHICLES, CONTAIN INCORRECT INFORMATION REGARDING THE REAR GROSS AXLE WEIGHT RATING. THE WEIGHT RATING, AS STATED, IS TOO LOW AND THE TIRES WERE NOT ADEQUATELY INFLATED TO SUSTAIN THE CORRECT LOAD.

The remedy

OWNER WILL BE SENT A CERTIFICATION LABEL STATING THE CORRECT GROSS AXLE WEIGHT RATING. TIRES SHOULD BE INFLATED TO 75 P.S.I. TO COMPLY WITH LOAD REQUIREMENTS.

Notes

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: BUSES.SYSTEM: EQUIPMENT; CERTIFICATION LABEL.CONSEQUENCES OF DEFECT: OVERLOADING AND CONSEQUENT REAR AXLE FAILURE COULDCAUSE LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND AN ACCIDENT.

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.
