2000–2001 Krystal 22 & 2000–2001 Krystal 24 + 2 more recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
Vehicle description: certain buses fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 120, "tire selection and rims for motor vehicles other than passenger cars." the tire placard label contains an incorrect recommended cold tire inflation pressure of 60 or 65 PSI. The correct inflation pressure is 80 PSI.
💥 The risk
If the tires are under-inflated, it could reduce the tread life of the tire, and the tire could degrade to a point of allowing sudden air loss.
🔧 The fix
New labels will be provided to the owners. Owner notification is expected to begin during december 2001. Owners who do not receive the free label within a reasonable time should contact krystal at 1-800-845-4883.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
