What happened

Collins Bus Corporation is recalling certain 2012 model year Collins, Corbeil, and Mid Bus brand school and multi-function activity buses manufactured between March 12, 2012, and July 13, 2012. The metal hydraulic service brake line that feeds the right rear service brake assembly may interfere with a body mount assembly located at the first body mount position directly ahead of the rear axle on the inboard side of the passenger side frame rail. This interference could rupture the brake line, causing brake fluid loss and brake failure, which could lead to a vehicle crash.

Collins will notify owners, and dealers will repair the buses free of charge. The recall was expected to begin in August 2012. Owners may contact Collins at 1-800-533-1850.
