What's wrong?
The windshield on a 2015-2016 Supreme Classic American Trolley is the front safety glass the driver looks through while steering, braking, and judging traffic. For this position, the glass is required to meet AS1 glazing specifications under FMVSS No. 205. That standard controls the type of glass allowed in the driver's forward view.
On affected trolleys, the installed windshield glass was marked for AS2 or AS3 use instead of AS1. Supreme traced the problem to its glass supplier, which shipped the wrong windshield product for these vehicles. The issue is not a broken latch or loose trim; it is the wrong grade of glazing installed in a position that requires clearer forward visibility.
There is no warning sign before failure. Owners are not expected to hear a noise or feel a change in the vehicle, so the windshield marking and the VIN decide whether the trolley is included.
Who's affected?
Both model years use the same windshield visibility component.
| 2015 Supreme Classic American Trolley | visibility component |
|---|---|
| 2016 Supreme Classic American Trolley | visibility component |
| Units affected | 45 |
| Field incidents | NHTSA has logged 1 field incident to date. |
The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific bus is included.
What's the safety risk?
A windshield that does not meet AS1 requirements limits the clear view the driver needs and increases the risk of a crash. Until the windshield is replaced, keep the glass clean, avoid driving in poor visibility, and schedule the recall repair. Repair is free at any franchised Supreme dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2015-2016 Supreme Classic American Trolley is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Supreme dealer to schedule the free windshield replacement that brings the glass into AS1 compliance.
- Bring the recall notice if Supreme mailed one. If not, reference recall number 15V785 when you call.
- Call Supreme customer service at 1-574-642-4888 with questions about scheduling or repair timing.
- Avoid driving in poor visibility until the windshield is replaced.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Supreme technician replaces the noncompliant windshields with windshields that meet the required glazing specification. The recall repair is free, and parts and labor are covered now. Supreme has a general reimbursement plan on file for owners who already paid for a related windshield repair. Keep repair documentation and ask Supreme customer service or the dealer service desk how to submit the claim.
