What is wrong

ARBOC Specialty Vehicles, LLC (ARBOC) is recalling certain model year 2015 Spirit of Mobility, and Spirit of Freedom transit buses manufactured July 1, 2014, to December 12, 2014. In the affected vehicles, the exterior electrical connections for the side marker lights may not be weatherized.

What can happen

Exposed electrical connections may short, increasing the risk of a fire.
