Defect
On large touring buses, insufficient waterproofing of the luggage compartment allows rainwater thrown up by the rear tires and wash water from high-pressure cleaning to reach the engine control computer installed in the compartment. In the worst case, water intrusion may cause the computer to malfunction, stopping the engine and preventing a restart.
Corrective action
Apply additional waterproof sealing treatment to the luggage compartment and cover the computer with a waterproof cover.
