Collins / Corbeil / Mid-Bus recall: Structure
What is wrong
Collins is recalling certain model year 2012 Collins, Corbeil and Mid Bus Brand SL, SH, DH, and DE school buses and multi-function school activity buses manufactured from March 12, 2012, through August 1, 2012. Some of the body mount bolts may not have been torqued to specification.
What could happen
Without correctly tightened body mount bolts, there may be a reduction in the vehicle's integrity, which in the event of a crash, may result in the passengers having an increased risk of injury.

Collins will notify owner, and dealers will repair the buses free of charge. The safety recall began during August 2012. Owners may contact Collins at 1-800-533-1850, ext 424.
