Electrical system: wiring: fuses and circuit breakers
- What is wrong
- Vehicle description: school buses. These vehicles were built with inadequate circuit protection devices (fuses or circuit breakers) allowing the headlamps, during high beam operation, to impose too much load causing the protection device to open the circuit.
- Risk

Recall number 98V106000 · Recall details
Visibility: rearview mirrors/devices
- What is wrong
- These buses have a rearview mirror system that does not meet the viewing requirements of fmvss no. 111, "rearview mirrors."
- Risk
- Consequence of non-compliance: reduced reflective area on the outside rearview mirror reduces the drivers apparent area of visibility to the rear of the bus increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.
- Remedy
- Two add-on convex mirrors will be provided to the vehicle owner with instructions for mounting. If the owner prefers, he may take the bus to an amtran dealer who will install the mirrors.
Recall number 95V206000 · Recall details
Service brakes, hydraulic: power assist: hydraulic
- What is wrong
- The hydraulic brake system on these buses uses two hydraulic pressure switches to operate the brake lights and the brake booster pump. The brake pressure warning light can activate when actual system failure has not occurred.
- Risk
- A false warning of the brake pressure warning light can cause the driver to ignore a warning when an actual problem exists which could result in an accident.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace the two hydraulic pressure switches with one mechanical switch that is activated by brake pedal stroke.
