Recall 2017240

The issue

On certain buses, the latching mechanism that holds the roof canopy in place may become out of adjustment and allow for the canopy to unlatch. If this were to occur, the canopy may separate from the vehicle, which could become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will add a self-locking latch and new structural brackets to the roof canopy.

Description (français)

Sur certains autobus, le mécanisme de verrouillage qui retient le toit amovible pourrait se désengager et faire en sorte que le toit se détache. Si cela se produisait, le toit pourrait tomber et causer un danger pour les usagers de la route, augmentant les risques d'accident pouvant entraîner des blessures ou des dommages matériels (ou les deux). Mesure corrective : Les concessionnaires devront ajouter un mécanisme autobloquant et de nouvelles fixations à la structure du toit amovible.
