Transport Canada recalls

Heater And Defroster#2016570November 16, 2016
150 units affected
On certain buses, the formed heater hose going to the driver’s heater could rupture allowing hot coolant to leak into the operators foot area. If hot coolant were to come in contact with the operator, it could result in a burn injury and, depending on the driver’s reaction, could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the formed heater hose.
Accessories#2015612December 22, 2015
15 units affected
On certain buses equipped with a Ricon S-Series wheelchair lift, the platform could potentially crack due to bent knuckle link arms and/or defective bearing. Overtime, the platform could separate of the rear portion of the pivot plate making the lift inoperable and putting the lift operator at risk of injury. Correction: Owners will need to make an appointment with the local Ricon Dealer to have the lift inspected and repaired.
Accessories#2014489October 30, 2014
15 units affected
On certain buses equipped with a Ricon wheelchair lift, the lift platform sides may crack, which could cause the lift to lean against the vehicle door(s) and potentially fall out of the vehicle when the doors are opened, putting the lift operator at risk of injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect lift platforms for cracks and repair as necessary, and install a repair kit.
Label#2013124April 17, 2013
287 units affected
Certain buses fail to conform to the requirements of CMVSS 217 – Bus Window Retention, Release and Emergency Exits. Specifically, push-out windows and other emergency exits may only be identified using unilingual text, instead of using text in both official languages. In the event of an emergency, this could hamper passenger efforts to quickly exit the vehicle, which could increase the risk of personal injuries. Correction: Dealers will install updated labels.
Electrical#2013010January 16, 2013
545 units affected
On certain vehicles, the Injection Pressure Regulator (IPR) electrical wire may break due to vibration damage at the crimp/wire connection. This could cause an unexpected engine shut down without warning. Loss of vehicle propulsion, in conjunction with traffic and road condition, and the driver’s reactions, could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will install a redesigned IPR wire connector.
Other#2012185June 20, 2012
25 units affected
Certain buses fail to comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 217 - Bus Window Retention, Release and Emergency Exits. Specifically, the force required to operate the emergency roof hatch may exceed the allowable limit. In the event of an emergency, passengers may not be able to quickly exit the bus, which could increase the risk of personal injuries. Correction: Dealers will install a repair kit to update the roof hatch mechanism.
Electrical#2011305August 18, 2011
38 units affected
On certain buses equipped with a MaxxForce 7 engine, the positive alternator cable may rub against the engine control module mounting bracket. Continued contact could wear through the alternator cable's insulation, which could cause an electrical short circuit. An electrical short could result in a vehicle fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect the alternator cable for signs of abrasion damage and install tie straps to route the cable away from the engine control module mounting bracket.
Fuel System#2011202May 18, 2011
549 units affected
On certain vehicles equipped with a MaxxForce 7 engine, a cap on the return fuel valve may fall off, allowing air to be drawn into the fuel system. This could result in engine hard start, no start, or stall conditions. Lost vehicle propulsion, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the return fuel valve assembly.
