1994 AMTRAN RE Recall
- Campaign:
- 01V057000 on 02/27/2001
- Component:
- Equipment:other:labels
- Manufactured:
- 02/14/1994 - 01/11/1999
- Affected:
- 554
- Defect:
- Vehicle description: school and transit buses. some certification labels displayed the incorrect tire pressure for the tire specified to meet the gross axle weight rating for the front and/or rear axles. this does not meet the certain requirements of fmvss no. 120, "tire selection and rims for motor vehicles other than passenger cars," and 49 cfr part 567, "certification."
- Consequence:
- Under or over-inflated tires can cause or contribute to premature tire failure, possibly resulting in a sudden blowout or other failure which could result in a loss of control of the vehicle.
- Correction:
- New certification labels are being provided to owners. owner notification began march 16, 2001. owners who do not receive the free certification label within a reasonable time should contact amtran at 1-800-993-7686.
- Notes:
- Also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).
