For the 2016 Trans Tech Bus Student Safety Transport. 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 Trans Tech Bus 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 Trans Tech Bus dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.

Seats

Summary: Transportation Collaborative, Inc. (Transtech) is recalling certain 2015-2016 Trans Tech SST, ST Aero, and SST FLR school buses built on Chevrolet chassis and equipped with certain CE White-brand QS11 Series convertible school bus seats. These seats were manufactured with integral D-Ring mounting studs that may have inadequate padding between the occupant and the D-ring mounting stud.
Consequence: In the event of a rear end collision, the seat occupant's head may contact the D-ring mounting stud, increasing the risk of injury.
Remedy: Transtech will notify owners, and dealers will add the proper padding, free of charge. The recall began on November 15, 2017. Owners may contact Transtech customer service at 1-845-988-0419. Transtech's number for this recall is 17e045.

Equipment adaptive/mobility

Summary: Transportation Collaborative, Inc. (Transportation Collaborative) is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 Trans Tech Student Safety Trasnporter (SST) and ST Aero school buses manufactured from January 2, 2014, through January 1, 2016, and equipped with certain model S2005, S2010, S5005, S5010, S5505, and S5510 wheelchair lifts by Ricon. The platform side plate of the affected wheelchair lifts may crack. Additionally, the lifts are equipped with folding link arms that may have pivot holes that are too big, allowing the bearings to move out of position.
Consequence: If the platform side plates crack or the platform mounting fails from out-of-position bearings, the lift platform can separate from the lift and come to rest against the vehicle's lift door. When the vehicle's doors are opened, the platform may fall onto the lift operator, increasing their risk of injury.
Remedy: Transportation Collaborative will notify owners, and Ricon dealers will inspect the link arms for damage or for displaced bearings. The platform will be inspected for cracks. Any damaged parts will be replaced, free of charge. The recall began on June 28, 2016. Owners may contact Transportation Collaborative customer service at 1-845-988-0419.
