2000 Collins Grand Bantam recalls
Recall 01V-267: Unknown or Other
Problem: Vehicle description: l school buses equipped with a floor-mounted track used to accommodate and secure wheelchairs. The floor-mounted track bolts, used to secure this track to the floor, are too long and protrude through the wheel well. It is possible that the protruding bolts will puncture the rear tires if the tires should be pushed up into their full jounce position.
Risk: The rear tires could be punctured without warning possibly resulting in a loss of steering control and a vehicle crash.
Fix: Dealers will replace the long track bolts with shorter bolts that will sit flush with the retaining nuts. Owner notification began september 24, 2001. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact collins at 1-800-533-1850.
Recall 00V-191: Visibility
Problem: Vehicle description: school buses built on ford or chevrolet cutaway van chassis equipped with the rosco "euro-style" overhanging right hand rearview mirror. These mirrors have an inadequate strength attachment at the mirror brace mounting point and could pull loose during high winds (From oncoming traffic) or severe vibration. This does not comply with the requirements of FMVSS no. 111, "rearview mirrors."
Risk: Failure of the mirror brace attachment allows the mirror arm to pivot left or right, possibly swinging far to the right past the bus perimeter and injuring pedestrians nearby. This could also result in a loss of visibility surrounding the bus.
Fix: Dealers will relocate the mirror brace mounting point from the front cap of the bus body to the roof skin of the bus cab, providing significantly increased strength. Owners will be provided with a description and drawing of the noncompliance, a brief description of the repair procedure, and where to take the vehicle to have it repaired.
