The short answer

NHTSA received TRANS TECH BUS’s report on Oct 26, 2009. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 26, 2026.

Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

WITHOUT THIS INFORMATION, THE VEHICLE COULD BE OVERLOADED, INCREASING THE RISK OF A TIRE FAILURE WHICH COULD LEAD TO A CRASH.

TRANS TECH IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2007 THROUGH 2009 MFSAB TYPE A SCHOOL ACTIVITY BUSES MANUFACTURED FROM JUNE 1, 2008 TO OCTOBER 19, 2009.

THESE BUSES FAIL TO CONFORM TO THE LABELING REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 110, “TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS.” THE TIRE AND LOAD INFORMATION LABEL IS MISSING.

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
  • Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
  • This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
