2011 TRANS TECH HORIZON
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Transportation Collaborative Inc. is recalling two model year 2011 Horizon Transit Buses built on Ford E350 and E450 Econoline chassis. The fiberglass installed in these vehicles failed to meet design specifications, causing insufficient torque at the upper torso mounting point of the front shoulder restraint. This defect means the shoulder restraint could detach from the B-pillar anchorage during a crash, increasing the risk of injury to occupants and causing the vehicles to fail to comply with federal safety standards.
TCI will notify owners and provide repair instructions and kits at no cost, or owners may take their bus to an authorized repair facility for repairs at no cost. The recall began on March 15, 2012. Owners should contact TCI at 1-845-988-0419.
