The defect
Stallion Bus and Transit Corp. (Stallion Bus) is recalling certain model year 2013 900 series transit buses manufactured from March 1, 2013, through October 31, 2013. The 12 volt to 24 volt power converter on the wiper system may shut off when the wiper speed is changed resulting in a loss of wiper function.
The risk
Visibility will be reduced should the wiper assembly stop working during operation, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
The remedy
All of the affected buses were repaired on April 30, 2014. Therefore, an owner notification letter will not be issued for this recall campaign. Owners may contact Stallion Bus customer service at 1-631-270-3800.
