04- Brakes#2016484
6 units affected
On certain school buses, the brake transmission shift interlock may have been manufactured incorrectly. The software for the brake transmission could allow for an operator to shift the transmission into a drive gear without depressing the brake pedal. This could result in unintended vehicle movement, increasing the risk of injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will update vehicle software.
- Structure#2016269
2,042 units affected
On certain school buses, the stem which joins the outside emergency door handle to the emergency door opening mechanism may potentially corrode. Excessive material loss of the stem due to corrosion could result in the outside handle separating from the door mechanism while trying to open the door from the exterior of the bus. In the event of an emergency, this could delay evacuation of the vehicle and increase the risk of injury to occupants. Correction: Dealers will inspect the stems and either replace or protect them against further corrosion. Note: This is an expansion of recall 2015291.
