CERTIFICATION LABELS AFFIXED TO SOME OF THE INVOLVED VEHICLES, CONTAIN INCORRECT INFORMATION REGARDING THE REAR GROSS AXLE WEIGHT RATING. THE WEIGHT RATING, AS STATED, IS TOO LOW AND THE TIRES WERE NOT ADEQUATELY INFLATED TO SUSTAIN THE CORRECT LOAD.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: Not supplied
Remedy: OWNER WILL BE SENT A CERTIFICATION LABEL STATING THE CORRECT GROSS AXLE WEIGHT RATING. TIRES SHOULD BE INFLATED TO 75 P.S.I. TO COMPLY WITH LOAD REQUIREMENTS.
CHASSIS ON THE INVOLVED BUSES WERE LABELED INCORRECTLY WITH A GVWR OF 10,000 POUNDS THAT DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL REGULATION PART 567.4(G). THIS STATES THAT THE GVWR SHOULD NOT BE LESS THAN THE SUM OF THE UNLOADED VEHICLE WEIGHT, RATED CARGO LOAD AND 150 POUNDS TIMES THE VEHICLE SEATING CAPACITY. THE CERTIFICATION LABEL ALSO INCORRECTLY INDICATES THAT THE VEHICLE IS OF MULTIPURPOSE TYPE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: Not supplied
Remedy: CERTIFICATION LABELS INDICATING TYPE OF VEHICLE AS A BUS WITH GVWR OF 11,000 POUNDS WILL BE AFFIXED IN PLACE OF THE OLD ONES. DECALS WILL ALSO BE AFFIXED IN THE PROPER LOCATIONS TO PROVIDE EXIT INSTRUCTIONS, AND THE CENTER REAR WINDOW WILL BE REPLACED WITH A NEW EXIT WINDOW.
