The defect
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: SCHOOL BUSES. THE CERTIFICATION LABEL FOR THESE BUSES WAS INCORRECTLY IMPRINTED "MULTIPURPOSE VEHICLE" INSTEAD OF "BUS/NON SCHOOL BUS." THIS DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF PART 567, "CERTIFICATION."
The risk
THESE VEHICLES WOULD NOT BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL REGULATIONS.
The remedy
OWNERS WILL BE MAILED CORRECTED CERTIFICATION LABELS AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.

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.
