Recall 2018287

The issue

On certain buses, corrosion of the electrical junction stud on the engine cradle could cause an electrical pathway to form between the stud and its attachment screws. If this were to occur, localized heating could cause the stud housing to melt, creating an increased risk of fire causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Affected junction blocks will be replaced, and anti-corrosion treatment will be applied to the junction block studs and the cable terminals.

Description (français)

Sur certains autobus, la corrosion du goujon de jonction électrique fixé au berceau­ moteur pourrait créer un circuit électrique entre le goujon et ses vis de fixation. Le cas échéant, une surchauffe localisée pourrait faire fondre le boîtier du goujon, augmentant ainsi les risques d'incendie pouvant entraîner des blessures ou des dommages matériels (ou les deux). Mesure corrective : Les blocs de jonction affectés seront remplacés et un traitement anti-corrosion sera appliqué aux goujons des blocs de jonction et aux bornes des câbles.
