Recall 94V-237: 1987–1991 Crown Coach School Bus
CROWN COACH CORPORATION recall for structure, reported to NHTSA on Nov 28, 1994, covering about 872 vehicles.
The problem
Floor deterioration due to water seepage.
The risk
Floor deterioration can cause the floor to collapse, which could result in injury to passengers or operators.
The fix
The floors of all the recalled buses will be replaced. In addition, a "water flow" test will be conducted on all buses to determine leakage sources and magnitude. On the old style buses, water leaks will be remedied by resealing the drip rail and front cowl; and on new style buses, respacing the "rub rail" away from the bottom of the "watershed," creating a 3/16 inch gap which will allow the water to flow off the bus.
