There are five recalls affecting the 2012 CORBEIL SH impacting various systems including the electrical panel, door structure, emergency exit windows, body mounting, and the hydraulic brake lines. These recalls address safety risks related to component failures and structural issues.
Recalls- Electrical panel cover. NHTSA recall 12V342000 affects 196 vehicles. The cover above the driver may not be securely fastened and could fall due to vibration. This poses a risk of injury or distraction to the driver, increasing crash risk. Owners will receive notification, and dealers will repair the issue free of charge starting August 13, 2012.
- Door structure entanglement risk. Recall 12V346000 involves 171 vehicles. The double out door has a gap where drawstrings or clothing may become caught when passengers exit. This entanglement risk may go unnoticed by the driver, potentially leading to injury if the bus moves with a passenger caught. Repairs are provided at no cost beginning August 16, 2012.
- Emergency egress window failure. Recall 12V340000 covers 1,429 vehicles with Spectal split sash emergency windows that may fail strength and fastening standards. In crashes, occupants could face difficulty exiting or risk injury from window detachment. Free repairs began in September 2012.
- Body mount bolt torque. Recall 12V386000 impacts 641 vehicles. Some body mount bolts may not have been tightened to specification which could reduce vehicle structural integrity and increase injury risk in a crash. Repairs started in August 2012 at no charge.
- Hydraulic brake line interference. Recall 12V387000 includes 282 vehicles where the hydraulic brake line may rub against a body mount causing possible rupture and brake fluid loss, leading to brake failure and crash risk. Free repairs were scheduled to start in August 2012.
Owners dealing with repeated repairs or unresolved issues under these recalls may have rights under their state’s lemon law. Consulting a consumer protection attorney familiar with lemon law claims could be advisable in such cases.

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.

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.

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.
