    NHTSA 98V106000 Reported 13,422 vehicles potentially affected AMERICAN TRANSPORTATION CORP.

    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.

  4. Visibility: rearview mirrors/devices

    NHTSA 95V206000 Reported 495 vehicles potentially affected AMERICAN TRANSPORTATION CORP.

    These buses have a rearview mirror system that does not meet the viewing requirements of FMVSS no. 111, "rearview mirrors."

    Remedy: Two add-on convex mirrors will be provided to the vehicle owner with instructions for mounting. If the owner prefers, he may take the bus to an amtran dealer who will install the mirrors.

  5. Hydraulic (service brakes)

    NHTSA 94V234001 Reported 1,179 vehicles potentially affected AMERICAN TRANSPORTATION CORP.

    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.

Checking a specific 1995 Amtran Genesis

How do I know if my 1995 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. 5 campaigns currently list the 1995 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 94V234001).

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.
