⚠️ What's wrong
Startrans is recalling certain model year 2001 through 2009 transit buses manufactured between october 15, 2001 and september 24, 2009, equipped with luminator horizon LED side destination signs. The connector board CAN corrode due to an accumulation of moisture under the connector.
💥 The risk
A short could occur, possibly causing smoke and fire.
🔧 The fix
Startrans will notify owners and the buses will be repaired by either startrans or luminator free of charge. Please see luminator's defect report 09E-054. The safety recall is expected to begin during november 2009. Owners may contact luminator at 1-972-516-3033 or startrans at 1-574-642-0811.
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.)
