Recalls- Door entanglement hazard. Recall 12V346000 affects 171 vehicles. A gap at the double door bracket may catch drawstrings or clothing, risking passenger entrapment. The driver might unknowingly move the bus while a passenger is caught, causing injury or death. Collins repairs the affected buses free of charge.
- Instrument panel cover issue. Recall 12V342000 covers 196 vehicles. The electrical panel cover above the driver can loosen from vibration and fall without warning, potentially distracting or injuring the driver and leading to a crash. Dealers will fix this at no cost to owners.
- Emergency window defects. Recall 12V340000 involves 1,429 vehicles. Spectal split sash emergency egress windows may have improperly installed retainer bars, weak latch rods, or missing fasteners. This compromises emergency egress, posing injury risk in crashes. Repairs are provided free by Collins.
- Body mount bolt torque deficiency. Recall 12V386000 includes 641 vehicles. Some body mount bolts may not have been tightened properly, reducing vehicle structural integrity. This increases passenger injury risk during collisions. Collins offers free repairs to correct bolt torque.
- Hydraulic brake line interference. Recall 12V387000 affects 282 vehicles. The right rear hydraulic brake line may rub against a body mount assembly, risking brake line rupture and fluid loss. Brake failure increases crash risk. Collins will repair the issue at no charge.
Owners facing repeated repairs or unresolved recall concerns involving safety or structural defects may have rights under state lemon law statutes. Consulting with an attorney experienced in consumer protection may help clarify available remedies.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS
Collins is recalling certain model year 2012 Collins, Corbeil and Mid Bus brand SL, SH, DH, and DE school and multi-function school activity buses manufactured from March 12, 2012, through July 13, 2012. The metal hydraulic service brake line feeding the RH rear service brake assembly may interfere with a body mount assembly. The location of this interference is at the first body mount location directly ahead of the rear axle and on the inboard side of the passenger side frame rail.
Risk: This interference could cause a rupture in the brake line, leading to the loss of brake fluid and failure of the brakes, potentially leading to a vehicle crash.

STRUCTURE:BODY
Collins is recalling certain model year 2012 Collins, Corbeil and Mid Bus Brand SL, SH, DH, and DE school buses and multi-function school activity buses manufactured from March 12, 2012, through August 1, 2012. Some of the body mount bolts may not have been torqued to specification.
Risk: Without correctly tightened body mount bolts, there may be a reduction in the vehicle's integrity, which in the event of a crash, may result in the passengers having an increased risk of injury.
2012 CORBEIL DE
1429 vehicles affected
VISIBILITY:GLASS, SIDE/REAR
Collins is recalling certain model year 2012 Collins, Mid-Bus, or Corbeil SL, SH, DH, and DE model school and multi-function school activity buses manufacturer from March 15, 2012, through October 30, 2012, equipped with Spectal split sash emergency egress windows. The split sash windows fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 217, "Bus Emergency Exits and Window Retention and Release." The windows may have an improperly installed retainer bar, insufficient strength of the egress window latch connecting rod, and/or missing or failed window fasteners.
Risk: In the event of a crash, vehicle occupants may not be able to exit the bus, increasing the risk of injury. If all the fasteners on a single retaining bar failed, the window would not remain secured to the bus, creating a risk of injury for passengers or persons outside of the bus.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
Collins is recalling certain model year 2012 Collins, Mid-Bus, and Corbeil SL, SH, DH, and DE model school and multi-function school activity buses manufactured from March 12, 2012, through July 2, 2012. The electrical panel cover above the driver may not be adequately secured. Vibration can cause the designed disks to lose grip and release the cover without warning.
Risk: The panel could fall and injure or distract the driver, leading to a crash.
2012 CORBEIL DE
171 vehicles affected
STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
Collins is recalling certain model year 2012 Collins, Mid-Bus, or Corbeil SL, SH, DH, and DE model school and multi-function school activity buses manufacturer from March 12, 2012, through July 3, 2012. When the Double Out Door is open, there is potential for a drawstring of a backpack or an article of clothing to become entangled in a gap at the door bracket or support hardware as a passenger is exiting the bus.
Risk: If a drawstring or any other article of clothing worn by a passenger is entangled or snagged by the handrail, the bus operator may not be aware that the passenger is caught and could move the bus, potentially pulling the passenger under the wheels. This situation could lead to injury or even death.
