Summary
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.
Consequence
A false warning of the brake pressure warning light can cause the driver to ignore a warning when an actual problem exists which could result in an accident.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the two hydraulic pressure switches with one mechanical switch that is activated by brake pedal stroke.

Vehicles covered

As listed by NHTSA. A recall usually covers only some vehicles of each model and year, often a production date range.

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.
