The defect
CERTIFICATION LABELS CONTAIN ERRORS IN THE VIN CODE. ON SOME 1984 AND 1985 BUSES THE CHECK DIGIT CONTAINS A "DASH (-)" RATHER THAN THE REQUIRED NUMBER (8). ALSO ON SOME 1984 BUSES THE CODE FOR THE YEAR OF MANUFACTURER IS INCORRECT. THE TENTH DIGIT CONTAINS A "D" (1984) INSTEAD OF AN "E" (1985). CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: BUSES ARE NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH FMVSS 115.
The remedy
INSTALL A NEW CERTIFICATION LABEL WITH THE CORRECT VIN CODE WHERE THE CHECK DIGIT IS INCORRECT. ALSO NOTIFY THE OWNERS CONCERNING THE YEAR OF MANUFACTURER ERROR.
Notes
SYSTEM: CERTIFICATION LABEL/FMVSS 115. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: TRANSIT BUSES.
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.
