Recall history
2 distinct campaigns affect this selection. Announcement dates below are different from vehicle model years. A campaign may cover multiple years.
81V077000 · Equipment:Other:Labels
Reported: 1981-06-25 (June 25, 1981) · Model years: 1980, 1981
CHASSIS ON THE INVOLVED BUSES WERE LABELED INCORRECTLY WITH A GVWR OF 10,000 POUNDS THAT DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL REGULATION PART 567.4(G). THIS STATES THAT THE GVWR SHOULD NOT BE LESS THAN THE SUM OF THE UNLOADED VEHICLE WEIGHT, RATED CARGO LOAD AND 150 POUNDS TIMES THE VEHICLE SEATING CAPACITY. THE CERTIFICATION LABEL ALSO INCORRECTLY INDICATES THAT THE VEHICLE IS OF MULTIPURPOSE TYPE.
Remedy: CERTIFICATION LABELS INDICATING TYPE OF VEHICLE AS A BUS WITH GVWR OF 11,000 POUNDS WILL BE AFFIXED IN PLACE OF THE OLD ONES. DECALS WILL ALSO BE AFFIXED IN THE PROPER LOCATIONS TO PROVIDE EXIT INSTRUCTIONS, AND THE CENTER REAR WINDOW WILL BE REPLACED WITH A NEW EXIT WINDOW.
NHTSA campaign record ↗82V129000 · Equipment:Other:Labels
Reported: 1982-12-16 (December 16, 1982) · Model years: 1980, 1981
CERTIFICATION LABELS AFFIXED TO SOME OF THE INVOLVED VEHICLES, CONTAIN INCORRECT INFORMATION REGARDING THE REAR GROSS AXLE WEIGHT RATING. THE WEIGHT RATING, AS STATED, IS TOO LOW AND THE TIRES WERE NOT ADEQUATELY INFLATED TO SUSTAIN THE CORRECT LOAD.
Remedy: OWNER WILL BE SENT A CERTIFICATION LABEL STATING THE CORRECT GROSS AXLE WEIGHT RATING. TIRES SHOULD BE INFLATED TO 75 P.S.I. TO COMPLY WITH LOAD REQUIREMENTS.

Emerging complaint spikes
Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.
This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.
No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.
Equal-age model-year comparison
Model-wide cumulative reports during the first three or five calendar years, starting with the model year (age 0). Only fully elapsed windows are compared.
1981: 0 complaints · 1991: 0 complaints
| Model year | Through age 0 | Through age 1 | Through age 2 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1981 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Date coverage across each selected cohort
| Year | Incident dates used | Filing date fallbacks | Excluded dates |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1981 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 1991 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
Incident date is preferred when valid and no later than filing; otherwise filing date is used. Model year approximates age. Equal observation time does not adjust for sales, distance driven or reporting delays. One complaint linked to multiple model years can appear in each cohort.
