2003 Amtran CE & 2003 Amtran FE recall: lights
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain school bus warning lamps, a static electricity discharge CAN occur during normal services or handling. This discharge CAN potentially initiate a chemical reaction of materials within the lamp which could cause the lens to fracture.
💥 The risk
If the lens fractures, it CAN cause injuries to persons directly in front of it.
🔧 The fix
Sound off will notify the customers and make arrangements to go out to the operating facilities and replace the warning lamps free of charge. Owners who do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact sound off at 800-338-7337 or ic at 501-505-2190.
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.)
