VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: SCHOOL BUSES BUILT ON FORD OR CHEVROLET CUTAWAY VAN CHASSIS EQUIPPED WITH THE ROSCO "EURO-STYLE" OVERHANGING RIGHT HAND REARVIEW MIRROR. THESE MIRRORS HAVE AN INADEQUATE STRENGTH ATTACHMENT AT THE MIRROR BRACE MOUNTING POINT AND COULD PULL LOOSE DURING HIGH WINDS (FROM ONCOMING TRAFFIC) OR SEVERE VIBRATION. THIS DOES NOT COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 111, "REARVIEW MIRRORS."
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: FAILURE OF THE MIRROR BRACE ATTACHMENT ALLOWS THE MIRROR ARM TO PIVOT LEFT OR RIGHT, POSSIBLY SWINGING FAR TO THE RIGHT PAST THE BUS PERIMETER AND INJURING PEDESTRIANS NEARBY. THIS COULD ALSO RESULT IN A LOSS OF VISIBILITY SURROUNDING THE BUS.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL RELOCATE THE MIRROR BRACE MOUNTING POINT FROM THE FRONT CAP OF THE BUS BODY TO THE ROOF SKIN OF THE BUS CAB, PROVIDING SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED STRENGTH. OWNERS WILL BE PROVIDED WITH A DESCRIPTION AND DRAWING OF THE NONCOMPLIANCE, A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE REPAIR PROCEDURE, AND WHERE TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO HAVE IT REPAIRED.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: SINGLE-REAR-WHEEL AND DUAL-REAR-WHEEL SCHOOL BUSES BUILT ON CHEVROLET 3500 VAN CUTAWAY CHASSIS. CERTAIN BUSES ARE EQUIPPED WITH SCHOOL BUS CERTIFIED SAFETY SEATS WHICH MAY NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 210, "SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY ANCHORAGES."
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IN THE EVENT OF A VEHICLE CRASH, THE SEAT OCCUPANT MAY NOT BE PROPERLY RESTRAINED, INCREASING THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY.
Remedy: COLLINS WILL PROVIDE REPLACEMENT SEAT LEGS FOR THESE BUSES.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: SINGLE REAR-WHEEL AND DUAL REAR-WHEEL SCHOOL BUSES BUILT ON CHEVROLET 3500 VAN CUTAWAY CHASSIS, EXTERIOR BODY WIDTH OF 81" OR 94".

Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, THE SEATS MAY NOT WITHSTAND THE FORCES SPECIFIED, POSSIBLY CAUSING INJURY TO THE SEAT OCCUPANT.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE NONCOMPLYING SEAT LEGS.
