What is wrong
TRANSTECH BUS (TCI) IS RECALLING CERTAIN MFSAB SCHOOL BUSES FOR FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE JOINT STRENGTH REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 221, "SCHOOL BUS BODY JOINT STRENGTH." THE AFFECTED BUSES DO NOT HAVE THE PROPER STRUCTURAL ADHESIVE ON CERTAIN INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR ROOF BODY PANEL JOINTS. TCI WILL PROVIDE THE SPECIFIC BUS MODELS BY MODEL YEAR AND DATES OF PRODUCTION ONCE THEY HAVE DETERMINED WHICH BUSES ARE AFFECTED BY THE NONCOMPLAINCE.
What can happen
IN THE EVENT OF A VEHICLE CRASH THE ROOF PANELS AND JOINTS MAY NOT ABSORB THE IMPACT AND COULD OPEN UP, INCREASING THE RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY TO OCCUPANTS IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
TCI IS CURRENTLY DEVELOPING THE REMEDY FOR THIS NONCOMPLIANCE. OWNERS WILL BE SUPPLIED WITH THE PARTS AND INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO REPAIR ANY AFFECTED VEHICLE(S). TCI WILL ASSIST ALL OWNERS WITH SCHEDULING REPAIRS AND LOCATING AUTHORIZED REPAIR FACILITIES. ANY REPAIRS WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. OWNERS MAY CONTACT TCI AT 1-845-988-2333.

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.
