23 units affected
Issue: On certain buses, the lower window on the enter door may have the wrong glazing. Canadian regulations require certain glazing to be used on the entry door. Safety Risk: Incorrect glazing could reduce visibility and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: ABC Bus Inc. will notify owners by mail and provide you with instructions for how to install a non-transparent vinyl cover over the window, as necessary. Alternatively, you may schedule an appointment to have the inspection and repairs performed at an authorized ABC Bus Inc. service location.
- Steering#2017064
35 units affected
On certain buses, the grease used in the first generation Pailton bevel gear box is not suited for low temperatures (-20 degree Celsius). Additionally, water could penetrate the bevel box through the seal, contaminating the grease and causing corrosion in the bearings. A combination of corrosion, contaminated grease and low temperatures would increase steering effort and, over time, could result in the sudden loss of operational steering which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the first generation Pailton bevel box with a ZF bevel box.
- Steering#2016598
33 units affected
On certain buses, the material used to make the front steering knuckle carriers may not meet specifications. Under certain circumstances, the steering knuckle carriers could crack, potentially causing the wheel to separate from the vehicle. This would increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction : Dealers will inspect and replace the steering knuckle carriers as necessary.
- Accessories#2011051
60 units affected
On certain vehicles, the rearview mirror switch (mounted on the dashboard) may overheat, causing the plastic to melt. An overheated switch may not allow rearview mirror remote adjustability and, as such, the driver may not have full use of the mirrors. In addition, excessive heat can cause smoke within the instrument panel, which could distract the vehicle operator and result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the rearview mirror switch.
