  Sur certains autobus dotés d'une plate forme élévatrice pour fauteuils roulants S-Series ou K-Series Titanium de la firme Ricon, la came limitant la hauteur de levage pourrait faillir. Le cas échéant, si l'utilisateur continuait à presser sur le bouton de levage, la plate forme pourrait se soulever au delà du plancher du véhicule et faire basculer la personne se trouvant sur la plate forme vers l'intérieur du véhicule, ce qui pourrait augmenter les risques de blessures. Mesure corrective : un détaillant Ricon autorisé va faire les réparations.

• POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM/PCM/TECM)#14V303000en anglais seulement28 mai 2014

  Champion Bus, Inc. (Champion) is recalling certain model year 2014 Defender shuttle buses built on Freightliner M2 chassis, equipped with Eaton-brand hybrid automated transmissions. The software controlling the affected transmissions may improperly raise the vehicle's engine speed during downshifts without the driver's input.

  Risque: The increase in engine speed may result in unintended acceleration, increasing the risk of a crash.

  Correctif: Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA), manufacturer of the Freightliner chassis, has notified owners, and Eaton authorized service facilities has updated the Hybrid Control Module Software version, free of charge. The recall began in May 2014. Owners may contact Champion Bus at 1-810-724-6474. Customers may also contact Eaton at 1-800-386-1911.

• SEAT BELTS#14V302000en anglais seulement28 mai 2014

  Champion Bus, Inc. (Champion) is recalling certain model year 2014 Defender shuttle buses built on Freightliner M2 chassis equipped with IMMI-brand L9 seat belt buckles. When the button is pressed to release the seat belt, the latch plate can become partially engaged with the buckle, making the seat belt difficult to unlatch. Thus, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies."

  Risque: If the latch plate remains partially engaged after the button is pressed, egress from the vehicle could be hindered which would increase the risk of injury in the event of an emergency.

  Correctif: Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA), manufacturer of the Freightliner chassis, has notified owners, and DTNA dealers will inspect and replace the seat belt buckle, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on May 27, 2014. Owners may contact Champion Bus at 1-810-724-6474 or DTNA at 1-800-385-4357.
