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

1979 Transportation MC9 recalls, newest first

January 1, 1983NHTSA 83V0090002,074 vehicles potentially affected

Visibility › Glass, side/rear

Summary: Because of misaligned latch and lock components, certain side window assemblies may not comply with federal motor vehicle safety standard 217, "bus window retention and release". A wear pattern may begin to form on the window hinge which may cause extreme difficulty in operating the retention mechanism.
Remedy: The defect may be corrected by inspecting, clamping a tool onto the window assembly striker plate, and setting the proper gap between the window retention mechanism and the striker plate. The specific procedure to correct the problem depends on the manufacturer of the window assembly.

January 2, 1981NHTSA 81V0140001,083 vehicles potentially affected

Structure › Body › Door

Summary: Roof hatches may be propped open to allow for fresh air ventillation. The prop mechanism was designed to disengage when full opening of the hatch is required to exit.

Remedy: Newly designed prop mechanism will be installed to replace existing prop mechanisms. Parts will be supplied at no charge and labor will be reimbursed.
