THE PARKING BRAKE BUTTON CAN BE HIT ACCIDENTLY ALLOWING THE PARKING BRAKE TO RELEASE.
UNINTENDED OPERATION OF THE PARKING BRAKE BUTTON CAN ALLOW THE BUS TO ROLL FREELY CAUSING A POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.
DEALERS WILL INSTALL A PROTECTOR OVER THE PARKING BRAKE BUTTON IN ORDER TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL RELEASE OF THE PARKING BRAKES.
IF A PASSENGER TRIES TO EXIT THE LAVATORY COMPARTMENT BY PUSHING WITH HIS BACK AGAINST THE LAVATORY WINDOW AND HIS LEGS AGAINST THE LAVATORY DOOR, THE WINDOW CAN SEPARATE.
IF THE WINDOW SEPARATES, THE OCCUPANT CAN FALL THROUGH THE WINDOW AND SUFFER SEVERE AND/OR EXTREME INJURIES.
DEALERS WILL INSTALL A RAIL IN THE LAVATORY COMPARTMENT WINDOW SO THAT LAVATORY OCCUPANTS CAN PRESS AGAINST THE RAIL RATHER THAN THE WINDOW, AND TO HELP THE PASSENGER TO KEEP BALANCE WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING.
THE ELASTIC PORTION OF THE RETAINING BOLTS USED TO SUPPORT THE STEERING GEAR BOX MAY BE TOO SHORT. AS A RESULT, THESE BOLTS WILL NOT LOCK SUFFICIENTLY, CAUSING THE NUTS TO LOOSEN AND ALLOWING THE STEERING GEAR BOX ASSEMBLY TO BECOME INOPERATIVE.
THE DEALER WILL INSPECT THE STEERING GEAR BOX AND, IF NECESSARY, REPLACE THE SHORT BOLTS WITH LONGER BOLTS AT NO CHARGE TO OWNER.
ON CERTAIN VEHICLES THE STEERING WHEEL RETAINING NUT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN ADEQUATELY TIGHTENED DURING ASSEMBLY. THE NUT MAY CONTINUE TO LOOSEN AND COULD EVENTUALLY COME OUT, ALLOWING THE STEERING WHEEL TO SEPARATE FROM THE STEERING COLUMN.
THE STEERING WHEEL RETAINING NUT WILL BE TIGHTENED ACCORDING TO SPECIFICATIONS AND LABOR COSTS WILL BE REIMBURSED BY THE MANUFACTURER.
INSULATION OF THE ALTERNATOR AND POST WIRES ON THE INVOLVED VEHICLES IS INSUFFICIENT; CORROSION MAY DEVELOP DUE TO CONTACT WITH SALT AND SAND USED IN SNOW AND ICE REMOVAL. CORROSION COULD LEAD TO AN ELECTRICAL SHORT BETWEEN THE ALTERNATOR BODY AND POST.
CORROSION WILL BE REMOVED FROM WIRES AND POSTS, A BRACKET WILL BE INSTALLED, AND A PROTECTIVE COATING OF SILICON GREASE AND UNITROL WILL BE APPLIED.
THE INNER TRACTION WHEEL RETAINING NUTS MAY NOT HAVE BEEN SECURELY TIGHTENED DURING ASSEMBLY. CONSEQUENTLY, THE NUTS COULD WORK LOOSE AND EVENTUALLY BECOME LOST.
THE WHEEL RETAINING NUTS WILL BE TIGHTENED TO SPECIFICATIONS, IF NECESSARY.
