8 units affected
On certain buses, the driver's seat shock damper may break allowing the driver's seat to unexpectedly drop to the floor without warning. In the event this situation should occur while the bus is in operation, the driver may lose control of the vehicle, possibly resulting in a crash causing property damage or personal injury to occupants of passengers or pedestrians. Correction: Dealers will replace the seat shock if necessary.
Wheels#2010153May 11, 2010
22 units affected
On certain coaches, the front and/or tag axle assemblies may have been installed with improper torque applied to the hub/rotor/wheel adapter bolts. Reduced bolt torque could lead to vibration loosening of the bolt, and could result in a wheel off condition. This could result in a crash causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will verify the torque of the affected hub/rotor/wheel adapter plate bolts and replace the bolts as necessary.
