  Problème : Sur certains autobus, la vitre inférieure de la porte d'entrée pourrait être équipée d'un vitrage incorrect. La réglementation canadienne exige l'utilisation d'un vitrage spécifique sur la porte d'entrée. Risques pour la sécurité : Un vitrage incorrect pourrait réduire la visibilité et augmenter le risque d'accident. Mesures correctives : ABC Bus Inc. doit aviser les propriétaires par la poste et leur fournir des instructions pour installer un recouvrement en vinyle non transparent sur la vitre, au besoin. Les propriétaires peuvent également prendre rendez-vous pour faire effectuer l'inspection et les réparations dans un centre de service autorisé ABC Bus Inc.

  Sur certains autobus, la graisse utilisée dans la boîte d'engrenages coniques Pailton de première génération ne convient pas aux basses températures (­20 degrés Celsius). De plus, de l'eau pourrait s'infiltrer dans la boîte d'engrenages coniques par le joint d'étanchéité, contaminer la graisse et entraîner la corrosion des paliers. La combinaison de ces facteurs (corrosion, huile contaminée et basses températures) pourrait faire augmenter l'effort requis pour tourner le volant et, avec le temps, causer une perte soudaine de direction qui pourrait augmenter les risques de collision pouvant causer des blessures ou des dommages matériels (ou les deux). Mesure corrective : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer la boîte d'engrenages coniques Pailton de première génération par une boîte d'engrenages coniques ZF.

Mesure corrective : Les concessionnaires devront inspecter les porte-fusées de direction, ainsi que les remplacer au besoin.
