Vehicle Equipment Recalls

Hazard: The rack may separate from the vehicle while driving, causing a hazard to other vehicles on the road, increasing the risk of a crash.

Hazard: By wearing a noncompliant helmet, the user may not be adequately protected in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of personal injury.

Hazard: If the brake system develops an external leak, it may result in a loss of brake fluid below the detection level of the fluid indicator switch. Without a warning, the driver may be unaware that the brake fluid level is low. A low brake fluid level may reduce the available braking force which could lengthen the required stopping distance and increase the risk of a crash.

Hazard: A bent shock absorber may compromise vehicle handling, increasing the risk of a crash.

Hazard: Overheated brake components could result in a fire.

Hazard: Torn cradles could allow a bike to disengage from the carrier. If a bike disengages from the carrier it may fall onto the roadway, creating a hazard for other vehicles and increasing the risk of a crash.

Hazard: When a Flip Seat is installed in front of another passenger seat, it is possible for the occupant of the rearward passenger seat to insert their toes and/or foot into the lower frame area of the Flip Seat. When a vehicle passenger occupies the Flip Seat, pushing the seat bottom downward to the horizontal position to sit in the seat, the occupant of the rearward seat could suffer a pinch point injury to their toes and/or foot.

Hazard: If motor damage occurs, it is possible that the awning can unfurl unexpectedly, either while the coach is at rest or while in transit, increasing the risk of personal injury or a vehicle crash.

Hazard: In some cases, the generated heat is sufficient enough to cause damage to the car inlet, and/or damage to the charging station plug. This condition also may present a danger of burn if the user has direct contact with the overheated portion of the casing.

Hazard: In the event of a crash resulting in a deployment of the passenger's air bag, the inflator could rupture, with metal fragments striking and potentially seriously injuring the passenger seat occupant or other occupants.

Hazard: If the glass is not properly bonded to the vehicle, the glass may be displaced or fall out increasing the risk of injury to vehicle occupants, property damage, or a vehicle crash.

Hazard: An electrical short circuit may result in a vehicle fire.

Hazard: The ejected valve could strike another vehicle and cause personal injury or a vehicle crash. The release of gas near an ignition source could also lead to a vehicle fire.

Hazard: A short circuit may lead to a vehicle fire.

Hazard: Overheated brake components could result in a fire.

Hazard: If the brake system develops an external leak, it may result in a loss of brake fluid below the detection level of the fluid indicator switch. Without a warning, the driver may be unaware that the brake fluid level is low. A low brake fluid level may reduce the available braking force which could lengthen the required stopping distance and increase the risk of a crash.

Hazard: If the liner shifts forward it may impede the operation of the accelerator and possibly lead to unintended acceleration, which may increase the risk of a crash.

Hazard: If the mounting bolts break, the bike rack may fall from the vehicle, possibly becoming a road hazard to other vehicles or causing injury to pedestrians.

Hazard: By wearing a noncompliant helmet, the user may not be adequately protected in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of personal injury.

Hazard: By wearing a noncompliant helmet, the user may not be adequately protected in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of personal injury.

Hazard: If flammable materials are near the overheated wire, there is an increased risk of fire and personal injury.

Hazard: Oil on hot engine or exhaust surfaces can result in smoke and possibly a fire.

Hazard: If the utility bar fails while in use, whatever is being towed may come loose increasing the risk of a crash.

Hazard: A fractured wheel may cause a loss of tire air pressure which may lead to tire failure or the loss of vehicle control. Either scenario may increase the risk of a crash.

Hazard: Separation of the rim and tire from the vehicle can result in a loss of control and a vehicle crash.

Hazard: The cable may contact the power lug at the base of the wheel chair lift causing a short circuit that could result in a fire.

Hazard: If the casting fractures, there may be a decrease in braking performance, increasing the risk of a crash.

Hazard: By wearing a noncompliant helmet, the user may not be adequately protected in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of personal injury.

Hazard: If the weld fails on the guide wheel unit while the vehicle is traveling on a roadway, it could create a potential road hazard, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.

Hazard: If this occurs, the fan belt may lose engagement of the water pump, allowing the cooling system to overheat. This may result in exceeding temperature limits, potentially disabling the school bus. If the school bus is occupied when it becomes disabled, the occupants would need to exit the vehicle and be transferred to another vehicle, putting them at risk of injury.
