NHTSA 02V179📅 Jul 22, 2002

2002 Glaval Apollo & 2002 Glaval Concorde + 1 more recall: lights

⚠️ What's wrong

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.

💥 The risk

This does not meet the requirements of the standard.

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.)
