Title: Safety Recalls on Buses
Post by: luvrbus on May 18, 2008, 06:12:17 PM
Have you guys ever checked to see what recalls were issued for the type of bus you own.A friend of mine bought a Blue Bird LTC-40 and this was the first item he checked was for safety recalls on this bus. That has never crossed my mind about looking for recalls but here is a link if you would like to check your bus.      http://www.safety-recall.com/all-vehicles-make.html   sorry guys but the link won't work for me on the board but does on my lap top  but will try again  Where is Richard when you need him


Try this one..

Jeez Nick.  You'd better schedule your bus for service right away.  We wouldn't want any of your family injured for lack of properly operating aisle lights!

We Eagle owners don't have to worry about safety recalls as our problems just slowly rust away.

Nick,
Thanks for the post. I will be inspecting my Neoplan's steering gear mounting plate; hopefully it was replaced while in bus service but...
