Every NHTSA safety campaign that lists a Transportation Transit Bus, most recent first, with the model years each one covers.

  1. Hoses, lines/piping, and fittings (service brakes)

    NHTSA 80V048000 Reported 193 vehicles potentially affected TRANSPORTATION MFG. CORP.

    The interconnecting brake air lines between the foot operated brake valve and the air brake system may have been connected to an incorrect part of the system.

    Remedy: Dealer will inspect and perform the proper connection of the brake air lines.

    Model years: 1979, 1980

  2. Idler and attachment (steering)

    NHTSA 79V257000 Reported 64 vehicles potentially affected TRANSPORTATION MFG. CORP.

    The mounting bracket and retainers which hold the steering idler arm in place can become loose. The idler arm support fastener would then be free to move while vehicle is in operation, causing the fasteners to wear.

    Remedy: Dealer will install a redesigned idler arm mounting on all affected vehicles.

    Model years: 1979
