What NHTSA recorded

Vehicle description: school buses. These vehicles were built with inadequate circuit protection devices (fuses or circuit breakers) allowing the headlamps, during high beam operation, to impose too much load causing the protection device to open the circuit.

Possible consequence

This condition could cause the loss of the head lights, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.

Remedy

Owners will be provided with a free repair kit and instructions to remedy this condition. If an owner so desires, their dealer can perform the remedy for them.
