   Equipment

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Specialty Manufacturing Co. (Specialty) is recalling certain Transpec T6000, T6100, and T7000 series school bus stop arms manufactured May 1, 2015, to October 18, 2015. The affected stop arms have a reflective decal that may peel loose from the stop arm. As such, these stop arms fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 131, "School Bus Pedestrian Safety Devices."

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   Without a reflective decal, the stop arms would have reduced visibility to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Specialty will notify the bus manufacturers that purchased the affected stop arms, and their dealers will replace the stop arm blade assembly, free of charge. The recall began on December 17, 2015. Owners may contact Specialty customer service at 1-800-951-7867.

   Products named: Transpec Stop Arm.

   Report filed by Specialty Manufacturing Co.. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 17 Dec 2015.

   Other / School Bus Stop Arm Assembly

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Certain model 4000 transpec safety cross air operated crossing arms, and models 6000, 7000, and 8000 transpec safety stop air operated stop arms manufactured between december 21, 2005, and august 28, 2006 (excluding units manufactured between april 26 and june 1, 2006) installed as original equipment on thomas built and ic corporation school buses and sold for aftermarket replacement equipment. The air supply fitting may separate from the base plate, preventing actuation air from reaching the stop arm and/or crossing arm. This condition will result in nondeployment of the stop arm and/or crossing arm during a school bus stop to pick-up or discharge passengers.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   If the stop arm does not deploy, a child or pedestrian may be endangered by passing motorists should the motorist not stop at the correct location. If a crossing arm does not deploy, a child may enter the drivers blind spot in front of the bus, and be endangered by the bus.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Thomas built and ic corporation will notify owners and repair the defective stop arms and/or cross arms free of charge. Transpec will notify owners who purchased the subject stop arms and/or cross arms as aftermarket equipment and will provide owners witha free repair kit (p/n 4819-000). Owners should contact the manufacturer of their vehicle(s) or, for further information owners may contact transpec at 586-274-9400. Transpec will notify owners who purchased any stop arm/cross arm units and repair them free of charge.
