2008–2009 Collins Grand Bantam & 2008–2009 Collins MID BUS Grand Guide + 2 more recall: equipment

⚠️ What's wrong

Collins is recalling certain model year 2008 and 2009 Grand Bantam, Super Bantam, MID BUS Grand Guide, and MID BUS Super Guide school buses manufactured from february 14 to october 19, 2009, equipped with a braun NCL917IB-2 century wheelchair lift.

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.)
