Chassis
- Ford F-53 (medium confidence). Named as the chassis for these model years in NHTSA notices 19V270000, 19V705000, 20V667000.
A family can be built on more than one chassis. Only chassis that a recall notice names for these model years are listed, so a chassis missing here is a gap in the record. A chassis recall covers only the vehicles its own notice describes, by build date and VIN range; check the notice before assuming it applies to a particular coach.
Canadian notices
Transport Canada publishes its own notices with their own IDs. They are separate records from the U.S. campaigns above and are never merged with them.
