Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary

Stallion Bus and Transit Corp. is recalling certain model year 2013 900 series transit buses manufactured between March 1, 2013, and October 31, 2013. The recall involves 12 affected vehicles.

The defect involves the 12 volt to 24 volt power converter on the wiper system, which may shut off when the wiper speed is changed. This results in a loss of wiper function, which reduces visibility during operation and increases the risk of a vehicle crash.

All affected buses were repaired on April 30, 2014. Consequently, an owner notification letter will not be issued for this recall campaign. Owners may contact Stallion Bus customer service at 1-631-270-3800 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
