06- Electrical#2025528
1,951 units affected
Issue: On certain school buses, the control panel for the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system may not have been manufactured properly. As a result, the wiring could overheat. Safety Risk: Wiring that overheats could create the risk of a fire. Corrective Actions: To reduce the safety risk, LION advises you to follow the latest version of the inspection procedure available on their website and not to use your school bus if there's any issues with the HVAC system. LION will notify owners by mail and provide you with instructions for how to correct the wiring for the HVAC system. Alternatively, you may schedule an appointment to have the repairs done at an authorized LION service center.
- Seats And Restraints#2019216
430 units affected
Issue: Certain school bus seats may not have the lower universal anchorage system required for installing a child seat. Safety Risk: A child seat that is not properly installed could create an increased risk of injury in a crash. Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail. Owners will be sent the missing anchorage parts and instructions for their installation.
- Lights And Instruments#2019132
349 units affected
Issue: Certain school buses were built without an audible warning for the emergency exits. This could cause a driver to be unaware that an emergency exit is locked. It also means that a driver would not hear a warning when an emergency exit is not properly closed and latched. Canadian regulations require an audible warning in all of these situations. Safety Risk: An exit that is locked could prevent passengers from leaving the bus in emergency. An emergency exit that is not properly closed and latched could open while driving. These problems could create a risk of injury. Corrective Actions: The company will notify all owners by mail. Owners will be sent a repair kit that includes an audible warning device and instructions for installing it.
- Label#2019131
380 units affected
Issue: The roof-mounted emergency exit hatch may not have a French label. Canadian regulations require labels to be in both English and French. Safety Risk: An exit that is not properly labeled may create confusion. This could increase the risk of injury in an emergency situation. Corrective Actions: The company will notify all owners by mail. Owners will be sent a new label for the exit hatch.
- Seats And Restraints#2013429
17 units affected
On certain buses, the driver's seat belt may not comply with Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 209 - Seat Belt Assemblies. Due to a defect in manufacturing, the seat belt buckle may not release as required by the standard. This could hinder egress from the vehicle in an emergency, increasing the risk of injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace affected seatbelt buckles.
- Brakes#2013120
8 units affected
On certain school buses, a hydraulic brake line could chafe against the steel-braided air compressor discharge line (for the air ride suspension). Continued contact could wear through the rear brake line, causing a brake fluid leak. This could increase stopping distances, possibly resulting in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Lion Bus will notify fleet operators to inspect and, if necessary, reposition the air compressor discharge line.
