Transport Canada recalls

Brakes#2024245April 25, 2024
23 units affected
Issue: On certain electric school buses, the power steering pressure line may not be properly connected to the brake booster. As a result, power steering fluid could leak and cause a loss of power steering and power brake assist. Note: Vehicles that were inspected under Transport Canada recall no. 2022-618 also require this repair. Safety Risk: A loss of power brakes can cause a sudden increase in brake pedal force and lead to an increase in stopping distance. A loss of power steering assist can cause a sudden increase in steering effort. Both could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Micro Bird will notify owners by mail and advise you to bring your bus to a dealership to replace the power steering pressure line and brake booster line.
High Voltage#2023411July 26, 2023

Note: This recall only affects buses equipped with Ecotuned Technologies MK3 kit with software version 1139 or lower. Safety Risk: Overheating of the high-voltage battery and electrical arcing can create the risk of fire.
