Recall 2005091

The issue

On certain transit buses, the tie rod assembly clamps could fracture as a result of inadequate manufacturing process. If both clamps were to fail and the cross tube start to unscrew, significant vehicle misalignment would evolve with the potential for the tie rod ends to separate from the cross tube, resulting in loss of steering control. Correction: Dealers will replace both tie rod assembly clamps.

Description (français)

Sur certains autobus urbains, les colliers de serrage des biellettes pourraient se briser à cause d'un procédé de fabrication inadéquat. Si les deux colliers faisaient défaut et que le tube commençait à se dévisser, un désalignement important du véhicule se produirait, ce qui pourrait provoquer le détachement des embouts de biellette du tube et causer une perte de contrôle de la direction. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer les deux colliers de serrage des biellettes.
