14V523000 · Structure:Body
Reported: 2014-09-03 (September 3, 2014) · Model years: 2014
Collins Bus Corporation (Collins) is recalling certain model year 2014 Collins and Mid Bus school buses, models SL400, SL408, DH400, DH416, DE416WR, DH500, DH516 and DE516WR, manufactured from July 21, 2014, to August 19, 2014. The affected vehicles may have been assembled with an inadequate amount of adhesive on some interior side panel joints. In the case of a collision to the side of the vehicle, the edge interior panel may become exposed. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 221, "School Bus Body Joint Strength."
Consequence: If the edge interior panel becomes exposed, there is an increased risk of injury to the passengers.
Remedy: Collins will notify owners, and dealers will install additional structural fasteners on the applicable body panel joints, free of charge. The recall began on October 8, 2014 . Owners may contact Collins customer service at 1-800-533-1850.
NHTSA campaign record ↗15V307000 · Seats
Reported: 2015-05-26 (May 26, 2015) · Model years: 2015
Collins Bus Corporation (Collins) is recalling certain model year 2015 DE516WR, SL408, SH40, and DH500 school buses manufactured February 2, 2015, to April 1, 2015. The affected vehicles have seat bottoms whose foam core may not meet the flammability requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 302, "Flammability of Interior Materials."
Consequence: If the seats are built with this seat bottom foam core, the seats may not resist catching fire in the presence of an ignition source, increasing the risk that a fire may start or spread.
Remedy: Collins will notify owners, and dealers will replace the school bus seat bottoms with foam that is compliant to the safety standard, free of charge. The recall began on June 25, 2015. Owners may contact Collins customer service at 1-800-533-1850. Collins' number for this recall is 15E032.
