Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Ameritrans Bus, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2012-2016 shuttle buses manufactured between August 1, 2012, and June 24, 2016. The affected buses were built on Ford E-350, E-450, and F-550 chassis, Dodge 5500 chassis, and Freightliner M2 chassis. These vehicles have Tire and Loading Placards that are not appropriate for vehicles weighing more than 10,000 pounds, which violates federal safety standards and could confuse the operator about weight limits.
The confusion over proper weight capacity could result in the vehicle being overloaded, increasing the risk of a crash. Ameritrans is notifying owners and will have dealers remove the incorrect Tire and Loading Placards at no charge. The recall began on September 2, 2016. If you own an affected vehicle, you should contact Ameritrans Customer Service Department at 1-574-218-4786.
