2002 Glaval Concorde recalls 3
Recall repairs are free. Your dealer fixes them whether or not you bought the car there - check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if yours is done. What to do
- The problem
- On certain buses equipped with sure-lok wheelchair securement systems, the sprocket teeth of the retractor assembly is out of alignment.
- The risk
- In the event of a vehicle crash, the wheelchair may not be adequately secured possibly resulting in injuries to the wheelchair occupant.
- The fix
- Dealers will inspect and replace the wheelchair securement retractors as necessary. Sure-lok is conducting the owner notification and remedy for this campaign. Owners should contact sure-lock at 1-908-231-1804 or glaval bus at 1-800-445-2825.
- The problem
- Certain buses fail to comply with requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 108, "Lamps, reflective devices and associated devices." The universal bus changed from a wrap-around style rear tail and turn lamp to a flat stop/tail lamp. The wrap-around light had an integral side marker. The new flat lights do not have a side marker. The apollo and concorde models still use the wrap-around light except when led lights are ordered.
- The risk
- This does not meet the requirements of the standard.
- The fix
- Glaval will provide to owners the necessary parts and installation instructions to install the rear side marker lights. Owner notification began july 8, 2002. Owners who do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact glaval at 1-800-445-2825.
