Summary

Transportation Collaborative, Inc. "Transportation Collaborative" is recalling certain 2012-2017 Transtech Bus ST Aero, SST, CST, Horizon, and RoadStar transit buses equipped with Bus-Air air conditioning systems. These air conditioning systems use a 30AMP in-line fuse that may short against the screw that secures the fuse holder.

Consequence

If the fuse short circuits, the holder may overheat and melt, increasing the risk of a fire.

Remedy

Transportation Collaborative will notify owners, and dealers will install an in-line mini fuse holder, free of charge. The recall began on August 21, 2017. Owners may contact Transportation Collaborative customer service at 1-845-988-0419.

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 'TTY 1-800-424-9153', or go to www.safercar.gov.
