For the 2011 Arboc Freedom. These apply to the model and year, not to one particular vehicle: check your VIN to see whether yours is included and whether it has been repaired.

Has your Arboc 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.

Check your VIN with NHTSA

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

Summary: Arboc specialty vehicles, LLC (arboc) is recalling certain model year 2011 and 2012 spirit of mobility and freedom transit buses manufactured from April 1, 2011, through March 25, 2012, equipped with prolo roof escape hatches. Increased friction between the rear plate assemblies, p/no. 009327, and the nylon rear pop-up support, p/no. 008956, may result in an opening force of the prolo roof hatches that exceeds federal standard requirements. Thus, these hatches fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 217, "bus emergency exits and window retention and release."
Consequence: In the event of an emergency, egress of the bus may be hindered possibly resulting in injury to the vehicle occupants.
Remedy: Arboc will notify owners. Specialty manufacturing, Inc. Will provide service kits along with repair instructions to dealers and owners, free of charge. The safety recall began on June 27, 2012. Owners may contact arboc at 1-574-825-1720 or smi at 1-800-951-7867.
