Transport Canada recalls
04- Label#2023201
20 units affected
Issue: The compliance label on certain vehicles incorrectly lists that the vehicle is compliant to all U.S. and Canadian standards. Safety Risk: This small error does not affect safety, as all of the vehicles are fully compliant to Canadian standards and regulations. Corrective Actions: This is not a recall. Volvo Trucks has made changes to ensure that all new vehicles have the correct statement of compliance printed on the compliance label.
- Lights And Instruments#2021565
32 units affected
Issue: Certain buses were built with headlamps that may not meet the performance requirements of Canadian regulations. As a result, the headlamp beam pattern may be too bright in some areas and not be bright enough in others. Safety Risk: Headlamps that are too bright could cause glare for oncoming drivers. Headlamps that are not bright enough may reduce visibility. Both of these issues could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Volvo Buses will notify owners by mail. The corrective actions for this recall are under development.
- Other#2021477
5 units affected
Issue: On a small number of buses equipped with a Ricon BayLift wheelchair lift, the outer barrier of the lift may not be strong enough. As a result, when the lift is fully deployed, the barrier may not support an occupant if their mobility device or wheelchair moves against it. Safety Risk: A wheelchair lift barrier that is not strong enough could create the risk of an injury. Corrective Actions: Volvo Buses will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your bus to a Prevost service center to add a side barrier support feature to affected wheelchair lifts.
- Powertrain#2020639
18 units affected
Issue: On certain buses, the C1 drive hub in the transmission may fail. If this happens, there could be a loss of power to the drive wheels when the bus comes to a stop. This can disable the bus and make it unable to move under its own power. Note: This recall only affects certain buses built with an Allison B500 transmission. Safety Risk: A bus that is disabled could create the need for a transfer of passengers in an uncontrolled environment, which may create a risk of injury. Corrective Actions: Volvo will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a Volvo service center to update the Transmission Control Module software.
