DEFECT #1 - EQUIPMENT:OTHER:LABELS


Posted on: 2001-02-28
Description
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.

Corrective Action
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).
