Auburn Outcast

After Auburn University bought its own bus fleet, First Transit scattered the buses it operated there to other services. Buses 7367 & 7699 ended up at the Rochester Institute of Technology, apparently displacing articulated D60LFs 1529 & 1530.

Still in full Auburn paint, 7367 is assigned to the Park Point service on a sunny April day.

Spotter Info:
2013 Freightliner M2 106 / Champion Bus Defender
VIN: 1FVACWDT6DHFJ7367
Plate: 8376AC0 (Alabama)

DEFECT #1 - STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR


Posted on: 2002-04-18
Description
On certain transit buses equipped with adhesively bonded aluminum bus door panels, due to an imperfect bonding of the door panel skin to the panel frame, environmental moisture may infiltrate regions of imperfect bonding and cause separation of the frame and door panel.

Consequence
Under these conditions, if the panel is separating or has separated, a passenger could fall from the bus onto the roadway, possibly resulting in personal injury or death.

Corrective Action
Vapor will notify customers to have their buses inspected and will install mechanical fasteners to attach the skins to the frame elements free of charge.  Owners who do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact vapor corporation at 847-967-8300 or champion at 1-810-724-6474.

Notes
Also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).
