-
Hinge and attachments (structure)
Vehicle description: school buses. The emergency door hinges that consist of steel pin fittings and/or lacklubrication can bind from rust and/or corrosion.
Remedy: Owners will be provided with a repair kit and installation instructions. The owners can contact an amtran dealer for assistance if they so desire.
-
Fuses and circuit breakers (electrical system)
Vehicle description: school buses. These vehicles were built with inadequate circuit protection devices (fuses or circuit breakers) allowing the headlamps, during high beam operation, to impose too much load causing the protection device to open the circuit.
Remedy: Owners will be provided with a free repair kit and instructions to remedy this condition. If an owner so desires, their dealer can perform the remedy for them.
-
Hydraulic (service brakes)
The hydraulic brake system on these buses uses two hydraulic pressure switches to operate the brake lights and the brake booster pump. The brake pressure warning light can activate when actual system failure has not occurred.
Remedy: Dealers will replace the two hydraulic pressure switches with one mechanical switch that is activated by brake pedal stroke.
-
Tank assembly (fuel system)
The fuel system failed the crash barrier test. The fuel tank was punctured, resulting in fluid loss greater than allowed by FMVSS 301, "fuel system integrity".
Remedy: Modify the fuel tank cage to comply with FMVSS 301.

Checking a specific 1992 Amtran Genesis
How do I know if my 1992 Amtran Genesis has an open recall?
Enter your 17-character VIN above. The VIN is on the driver's side dashboard (visible through the windshield), the driver's door jamb sticker, and your registration or insurance card. The check runs against NHTSA's live database and tells you which campaigns list your vehicle. 4 campaigns currently list the 1992 Amtran Genesis; your car may already have been repaired under some of them.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Under federal law, manufacturers must fix safety recalls at no charge for vehicles up to 15 years old from the date of sale to the first owner. Contact any authorised Amtran dealer with your VIN and the NHTSA campaign number (for example 92V102001).
What is the difference between a recall and a complaint?
A recall is a safety campaign filed by the manufacturer or ordered by NHTSA, with a defined defect and remedy. A complaint is a report an owner sent to NHTSA; it is not verified, but patterns of complaints are what trigger NHTSA investigations and, eventually, recalls.
