What is wrong
ON CERTAIN 29' PROPANE POWERED BUSES, THE INERTIA SWITCH IS CURRENTLY MOUNTED UNDER THE DASH.
What can happen
DUE TO EXCESSIVE VIBRATION, THE SWITCH COULD ACTIVATE DURING NORMAL OPERATION CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALERS WILL RELOCATE THE SWITCH TO THE CHASSIS FRAME RAIL. SUPREME HAS NOT YET PROVIDED AN OWNER NOTIFICATION SCHEDULE.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
