What is wrong
Transportation Collaborative, Inc. (Transportation Collaborative) is recalling certain 2019-2020 TransTech CST and SST school buses equipped with Safe Fleet Prolo hatches. Due to a manufacturing issue, the roof hatch external handle may unexpectedly break under reasonable use. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 217, "Bus Emergency Exits and Window Retention and Release."
What can happen
If the roof hatch external handle breaks, in the event of an emergency, the hatch cannot be easily opened from outside the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
Transportation Collaborative will notify owners, and Safe Fleet dealers will replace the outer handle, free of charge. The recall began January 13, 2020. Owners may contact Transportation Collaborative customer service at 1-845-988-0419.

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.
