What happened

Trans Tech Bus is recalling certain 2020 Roadstar, ST Aero, and SST buses built on 2019 Chevrolet Express cutaway chassis due to a defect in the instrument panel cluster. The seatbelt-unfastened warning light will not illuminate for approximately five seconds after the ignition is turned on, which means drivers may forget to fasten their seatbelts and face increased risk of injury in a crash.

To remedy the issue, GM dealers will reprogram the instrument panel cluster at no cost to owners. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Trans Tech customer service at 1-845-988-2333 to arrange the repair. The recall began May 6, 2020.
