Trans Tech Bus: Emergency Exit Windows May Not Open/FMVSS 220

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Trans Tech Bus is recalling 544 of its 2018-2021 SST, CST, SSTFLR, and CSTFLR school buses because the emergency exit windows may fail to open during a rollover event. This defect means the vehicles do not meet federal safety standards for school bus rollover protection. Trans Tech dealers will inspect and repair these windows for free to ensure they operate correctly in an emergency.

Risk

If a bus rolls over, the emergency exit windows may become jammed or stuck; this prevents passengers from escaping the vehicle, significantly increasing the risk of injury or death during an emergency evacuation.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify if your vehicle is affected by checking the model year (2018-2021) and model name (SST, CST, SSTFLR, or CSTFLR) on your bus registration or VIN plate.
  2. Contact Trans Tech customer service at 1-845-988-2333 to verify if your specific unit is included in this recall and to schedule a free inspection and repair.
  3. Schedule an appointment with an authorized Trans Tech dealer who will inspect and repair the emergency exit windows at no cost to you.
  4. For additional information or to report safety concerns, contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov.
