17 units affected
Certain buses equipped with additional seats may not comply with Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations. The additional seats could cause them to exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), which could lead to premature tire failure and vehicle overloading, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will remove seats from the vehicle to prevent overloading.
- Accessories#2014041
15 units affected
On certain buses, the alternator wiring harness may be pinched between the alternator mount plate and a heater hose clamp. This could damage the wiring insulation and eventually cause a spark/arcing, increasing the risk of a fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, reposition the heater hose clamp.
- Other#2012207

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.
