  Sur certains autobus munis d'une plate-forme élévatrice pour fauteils roulants Ricon série S, la plate-forme pourrait se fissurer en raison de bras articulés courbés ou d'un roulement défectueux (ou les deux). Au fil du temps, la plate-forme pourrait se séparer de la partie arrière de la plaque pivotante, ce qui rendrait la plate-forme élévatrice hors d'usage et entraînerait des risques de blessures pour la personne qui actionne la plate-forme élévatrice. Correction : Les propriétaires devront prendre un rendez-vous avec le concessionnaire Ricon local afin de faire inspecter et réparer la plate-forme élévatrice.

  Sur certains autobus, durant le processus de platelage de plancher, une vis pourrait avoir percé le tube d'échappement du moteur. Si la vis se desserre ou est retirée, des gaz chauds pourraient s'échapper par le trou dans le plancher, ce qui exposerait les occupants du véhicule aux gaz et aux fumées d'échappement et, par conséquent, pourrait augmenter les risques de déclenchement d'un feu pouvant entraîner des blessures ou des dommages matériels (ou les deux). Correction : Les concessionnaires devront inspecter les véhicules et effectuer des réparations au besoin.

  Sur certains véhicules, les traverses du réservoir de carburant pourraient se fissurer, ce qui pourrait accroître les contraintes exercées sur les supports restants du réservoir de carburant. Le réservoir pourrait alors se détacher du véhicule, ce qui pourrait causer une fuite de carburant qui, en présence d'une source d'inflammation, pourrait entraîner un incendie pouvant entraîner des blessures ou des dommages matériels (ou les deux). Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer les traverses de réservoir de carburant touchées.

  155 unités visées

  Sur certains autobus, les boulons qui fixent l'évaporateur du climatiseur fixé au plafond pourraient se desserrer. Cela pourrait faire que l'évaporateur tombe du plafond, ce qui pourrait blesser quelqu'un ou endommager des biens matériels. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront resserrer ou remplacer les boulons.

  Sur certains véhicules munis d'une plate-forme de levage de fauteuil roulant Ricon, en fonction du lieu de la pose, le dispositif de protection du fil de la commande portative pourrait entrer en contact avec le dispositif d'alimentation de la pompe hydraulique. Comme le dispositif de protection est conducteur d'électricité, cela causerait un court-circuit à courant élevé et un incendie, ce qui pourrait blesser quelqu'un ou endommager des biens matériels. Correction : On devra fournir aux propriétaires une trousse de recouvrement supplémentaire et un dispositif de recouvrement non conducteur pour le fil de commande.

  Sur certains autobus munis d'un évaporateur Carrier GenV EM-1, le porte-fusible du moteur de la soufflante pourrait permettre au fusible de se desserrer à la longue, ce qui pourrait causer la formation d'arcs et une résistance élevée. Si une quantité suffisante d'arcs est produite, le porte­fusible pourrait fondre, ce qui pourrait produire de la fumée ou un incendie. Un incendie pourrait endommager des biens matériels ou blesser quelqu'un. Correction : La compagnie Carrier devra fournir une trousse de mise à jour, ainsi que des instructions permettant d'en effectuer la pose.

  Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain model year 2006-2014 Glaval Universal, Primetime, Sport, Titan, and Titan II transit and shuttle buses manufactured January 1, 2006, to September 26, 2014, and equipped with certain model S2005, S2010, S5005, S5010, S5505, and S5510 wheelchair lifts manufactured by Ricon. The platform side plate of the affected wheelchair lifts may crack.

  Risque: If the platform side plates crack, the lift platform can separate from the lift and come to rest against the vehicle's lift door. When the doors are opened, the platform may fall out, increasing the risk of injury to the lift operator.

  Correctif: Forest River will notify owners to take buses to a Ricon dealer or service center who will install supplemental platform support bumpers. Any platform that has already started cracking will be replaced, free of charge. The recall began on December 1, 2014. Owners may contact Glaval customer service at 1-800-445-2825 or Ricon customer service at 1-800-322-2884.

• EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY#14V226000en anglais seulement30 avril 2014

  Glaval Bus (Glaval) is recalling certain model year 2007-2012 Universal, Primetime, Sport, Concorde, Titan, Titan II, Entourage and Apollo transit buses manufactured January 1, 2007, through December 3, 2012, and equipped with certain Ricon S-series and K-series wheelchair lifts, with an optional armored pendant cable. The armored cable may be positioned such that it does not clear the wheelchair lift.

  Risque: If the cable does not clear the wheel chair lift it may contact the power lug and if it does not have a nonconductive cover, or it has an improperly installed non-conductive cover, then a short circuit may occur that could result in a fire.

  Correctif: Glaval will notify owners, and Ricon will send owners a supplemental cover kit and instructions, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in June 2014. Owners may contact Glaval customer service at 1-800-445-2824 or Ricon Customer Service at 1-800-322-2884 or by e-mail at recall.admin@wabtec.com.

• ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR#14V004000en anglais seulement8 janvier 2014

  Glaval Bus is recalling certain model year 2010-2013 Universal, Entourage, Concorde II, Titan, Titan II and Legacy transit buses manufactured June 1, 2010, through June 30, 2013, and equipped with a Ford 5.4L or 6.8L engine and a Trans/Air-brand air conditioner. In the affected vehicles, depending on the routing of the alternator harness, and the orientation of the heater hose spring clamp at the front of the intake manifold, the alternator harness may be pinched between the spring clamp and the air conditioner compressor mounting bracket.

  Risque: The charging system may fail which could lead to the vehicle stalling while driving, increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, the spring clamp could pierce both the positive and negative wires of the alternator harness creating a short circuit which could result in a fire.

  Correctif: Glaval Bus will notify owners, and Trans/Air dealers will inspect the vehicles, correct the clamp installation and repair and reroute the alternator harness, as needed, free of charge. The recall began on January 22, 2014. Customers may contact Glaval at 1-574-262-2212.

  Glaval Bus is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 transit buses equipped with Speciality Manufacturing Inc. (SMI) ProLo roof escape hatches. Increased friction between the rear plate assemblies, p/no. 009327, and the nylon rear pop-up support, p/no. 008956, may result in opening force of the ProLo roof hatches that exceeds Federal standard requirements.
