The problem

Collins Bus Corporation (Collins Bus) is recalling certain 2018-2019 TL400, TL408, TH400 and TH408 school buses. The school buses may have been manufactured without a rear backup camera. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rearview Mirrors."

The risk

Reduced rearward visibility can increase the risk of a crash.

The fix

Collins will notify owners, and dealers will install a backup camera, free of charge. The recall began November 21, 2019. Owners may contact Collins customer service at 1-800-533-1850 extension 424.
