FLXIBLE CORPORATION
The problem
CERTIFICATION LABELS CONTAIN ERRORS IN THE VIN CODE. ON SOME 1984 AND 1985 BUSES THE CHECK DIGIT CONTAINS A "DASH (-)" RATHER THAN THE REQUIRED NUMBER (8). ALSO ON SOME 1984 BUSES THE CODE FOR THE YEAR OF MANUFACTURER IS INCORRECT. THE TENTH DIGIT CONTAINS A "D" (1984) INSTEAD OF AN "E" (1985). CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: BUSES ARE NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH FMVSS 115.
What owners should do
INSTALL A NEW CERTIFICATION LABEL WITH THE CORRECT VIN CODE WHERE THE CHECK DIGIT IS INCORRECT. ALSO NOTIFY THE OWNERS CONCERNING THE YEAR OF MANUFACTURER ERROR.
