OFFICIAL NHTSA RECALL
15E090000
Equipment
Reported Nov 12, 2015 · Specialty Manufacturing Co.
Summary
Specialty Manufacturing Co. (Specialty) is recalling certain Transpec T6000, T6100, and T7000 series school bus stop arms manufactured May 1, 2015, to October 18, 2015. The affected stop arms have a reflective decal that may peel loose from the stop arm. As such, these stop arms fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 131, "School Bus Pedestrian Safety Devices."
Consequence
Without a reflective decal, the stop arms would have reduced visibility to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Specialty will notify the bus manufacturers that purchased the affected stop arms, and their dealers will replace the stop arm blade assembly, free of charge. The recall began on December 17, 2015. Owners may contact Specialty customer service at 1-800-951-7867.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
