2005 Glaval Universal recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
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.' an incorrectly labeled weight sticker was attached.
💥 The risk
This information could potentially result in consumers loading their vehicles beyond the gross vehicle weight rating (gvwr).
🔧 The fix
The capacity will be reduced on both vehicles and a new weight rating label will be installed. Both vehicles have been taken out of service and parked until repairs have been made.
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.)
