The issue
On certain buses, the main wiring harness relay may short circuit, which could cause the engine to stall. Engine stalling would result in lost propulsion which, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash. Correction: Dealers will modify the relay by removing its ground tab.
Description (français)
Sur certains autobus, il pourrait y avoir un court-circuit au niveau du relais de faisceau de câbles principal, ce qui pourrait faire caler le moteur. Si le moteur calait, cela entraînerait une perte de propulsion qui, conjointement à la densité de la circulation, à l'état de la route et aux réactions du conducteur, pourrait augmenter le risque d'accident. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront modifier le relais en enlevant sa borne de mise à la masse.
