Structure: bodyReported March 6, 2009 · 2,741 vehicles affected
What is wrong
Collins is recalling 2,741 my 2008 school buses manufactured between january 1, 2008 and january 1, 2009. The bolts used to mount the body to the chassis frame rail may have been improperly installed which could lead to failure of the bolts.
Risk
Failure of these bolts will result in inadequate connection of the bus body to the bus chassis. In the event of a vehicle crash, there may be an increased risk of personal injury to the vehicle occupants.
Remedy
Collins will notify owners and inspect and repair the buses if necessary free of charge. The safety recall began on march 19, 2009. Owners may contact collins toll-free at 1‑800‑533‑1850.

Structure: bodyReported February 23, 2009 · 559 vehicles affected
What is wrong
Collins is recalling 559 my 2007 through 2009 school buses built on ford e-350 and e-450 chassis from november 3, 2006 to october 1, 2009. These buses may have been produced with the absence of two body mount bolts and associated hardware in 2 of the body/chassis mounting locations immediately behind the rear axle.
Risk
If any of the body mount bolts are missing this condition would not provide a stable connection of the bus body to the bus chassis. In the event of a vehicle crash, there may be an increased risk of personal injury to the vehicle occupants.
Remedy
Collins will notify owners and inspect and repair the buses if necessary free of charge. The safety recall began on february 26, 2009. Owners may contact collins toll-free at 1‑800‑533‑1850.
