For scale, 3,065 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 5 years and 3 months.
Issue
On one-man buses with a passenger doorway located between the front and rear axles, the rear-wheel underrun guard is not installed, causing the ground clearance at the lower edge of the body to fail to meet the requirements of the One-Man Bus Construction Standards.

On all vehicles, measure the ground clearance at the affected area. Where the clearance does not meet the standard, install a rear-wheel underrun guard.
