- The problem

(Transportation Collaborative) is recalling certain 2012-2017 Transtech Bus ST Aero, SST, CST, Horizon, and RoadStar transit buses equipped with Bus-Air air conditioning systems.

- The risk
- If the fuse short circuits, the holder may overheat and melt, increasing the risk of a fire.
- The fix
- Transportation Collaborative will notify owners, and dealers will install an in-line mini fuse holder, free of charge. The recall began on August 21, 2017. Owners may contact Transportation Collaborative customer service at 1-845-988-0419.

- The problem
- Transportation Collaborative, Inc. (Transportation Collaborative) is recalling certain model year 2015 Trans Tech Bus Student Safety Transporter, Student Transporter Aero, and Roadstar school buses manufactured May 1, 2015, to November 15, 2015, equipped with certain Transpec T6000, T6100, and T7000 series school bus stop arms. The affected stop arms have a reflective decal that may peel loose from the stop arm. As such, these stop arms fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 131, "School Bus Pedestrian Safety Devices."
- The risk
- Without a reflective decal, the stop arms would have reduced visibility to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
- The fix
- Transportation Collaborative will notify owners, and dealers will replace the stop arm blade assembly, free of charge. The recall began on January 27, 2016. Owners may contact Transportation Collaborative customer service at 1-845-988-0419 or the manufacturer of the stop arms at 1-800-951-7867. Transportation Collaborative's number for this recall is 15E-090.
- The problem
- Transportation Collaborative, Inc. (Transportation Collaborative) is recalling certain model year 2006-2015 Trans Tech Student Safety Transporter, ST Aero, and Roadster school buses manufactured January 1, 2006, to April 21, 2014, and equipped with certain Ricon model S2005, S2010, S5005, S5010, S5505, S5510 wheelchair lifts. The affected lifts are equipped with folding link arms that may have pivot holes that are too big, allowing the bearings to move out of position.
- The risk
- If the bearings move out of position, the stowed platform may have excessive movement resulting in failure of the platform mounting. This failure could cause the wheel chair lift platform to fall out of the vehicle when the doors are opened, increasing the risk of injury for the lift operator.
- The fix
- Transportation Collaborative will notify owners, and owners will inspect the link arms for damage or for displaced bearings. The platform will be inspected for cracks. Any damaged parts will be replaced, free of charge. The recall began on December 17, 2015. Owners may contact Transportation Collaborative customer service at 1-845-988-0419, or Ricon customer service at 1-800-322-2884. Note: These buses and wheelchair lifts were subject to a similar recall in 2014. All vehicles that received that recall remedy are still affected by this recall as well.
