Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Collins Bus Corporation is recalling certain 2012 Collins, Mid-Bus, and Corbeil SL, SH, DH, and DE model school and multi-function school activity buses manufactured between March 15, 2012, and October 30, 2012. These buses are equipped with Spectal split sash emergency egress windows that may have manufacturing defects including improperly installed retainer bars, insufficient strength of the latch connecting rod, and missing or failed window fasteners. In a crash, these defects could prevent occupants from exiting the bus or cause windows to become unsecured, increasing injury risk to passengers and people outside the vehicle.
Collins will notify owners of affected buses, and authorized dealers will repair the buses at no charge. The recall began in September 2012. Owners of affected buses should contact Collins Bus Corporation at 1-800-533-1850 to have their vehicles repaired.
