Has your Amtran been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Amtran dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.

Electrical system › Wiring › Fuses and circuit breakers

Summary
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.
Consequence
This condition could cause the loss of the head lights, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
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.

November 4, 1996NHTSA 96V221000194 vehicles potentially affected

Parking brake › Driveline › Air

Summary
The air/spring actuated parking brake chambers manufactured by midland (date code 145B6K) were filled with the wrong lubrication. The improper lubricant causes the seals within the chamber to fail and results in loss of air. If air pressure drops to 55 PSI the spring within the chamber will automatically apply the parking brake.
Consequence
If air pressure drops below 55 PSI and the operator does not heed the low air pressure warning and continues to drive, the parking brake will apply. This can cause the parking brake lining to overheat and prematurely wear. When the bus is parked and the brake applied, the parking brake would not operate properly.
Remedy
Dealers (or owners) will inspect the brake chambers for the suspect date code. If the chamber has this code, the parking brake chamber will be replaced.
