Home › Cars & vehicles › Van-Con, Inc. — Roof Seams may Separate/FMVSS…
Check whether your vehicle is affected and follow the manufacturer’s recall instructions — the repair is free.
If the roof panels separate in a crash, the occupants have an increased risk of injury.
The Recall Registry rates this worth checking — we found nothing in the notice describing a specific injury. A recall covers only the versions, UPCs or date codes it names, so check those against yours.
The purchaser of the affected bus is aware of the issue, therefore an owner notification letter will not be mailed. Owners may contact Van-Con customer service at 1-732-356-8484.
