03- 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.
- Electrical#2015332
1 units affected
On certain buses, the low idle speed parameter for the engine may be incorrect. High electrical demand and prolonged low idling could cause the alternator to overheat resulting in function loss, increasing the risk of fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will correct the low idle speed parameter for the engine and install a new alternator at the next scheduled preventive maintenance interval.
- Steering#2015314
1 units affected
On certain vehicles, a defect in the front steering knuckle carrier could allow the knuckle carrier to break under normal loading conditions. This could cause a wheel to separate from the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Vehicles will be inspected to determine if they are fitted with affected steering knuckle carriers. Those found to be of a particular production date will be replaced.
