2007–2009 Orion VII recall: windows, wipers & mirrors
⚠️ What's wrong
Orion is recalling 286 model year 2007 through 2009 transit buses manufactured between december 2007 and april 2009. The bond of the glass to the aluminum frame of the passenger windows is not adequate enough to hold the window attached to the frame.
💥 The risk
The window could dislodge from the bus while in operation, possibly becoming a road hazard to other motorists which could result in a vehicle crash.
🔧 The fix
Orion will notify owners and the moving window portion will be replaced free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or before july 15, 2009. Owners may contact hehr international at 1-989-845-3067 or orion at 1-800-716-7466.
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.)
