Transportation Collaborative, Inc. "TCI" is recalling certain model year 2012-2015 Trans Tech Bus Student Safety Transporter school buses manufactured December 1, 2012, to April 23, 2015. The affected vehicles were built to accommodate 35 children or 23 adults. However, when the bus is loaded to this capacity, the load may exceed the rated capacity of the rear axle and tires.
If the vehicle is loaded to the listed capacity, the rear axle or tires may fail, increasing the risk of a crash.
TCI will notify owners, and dealers will remove two seats, and install a corrected capacity label, free of charge. The recall began on July 1, 2015. Owners may contact TCI 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.
