- Summary
- Certain buses fail to comply with requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices and associated devices." the universal bus changed from a wrap-around style rear tail and turn lamp to a flat stop/tail lamp. The wrap-around light had an integral side marker. The new flat lights do not have a side marker. The apollo and concorde models still use the wrap-around light except when LED lights are ordered.
- Consequence
- This does not meet the requirements of the standard.
- Remedy
- Glaval will provide to owners the necessary parts and installation instructions to install the rear side marker lights. Owner notification began July 8, 2002. Owners who do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact glaval at 1-800-445-2825.
- Notes
- Also, customers can contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).

Has your Glaval 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 Glaval dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
