|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | June 26, 2006 |

| Component | Wiring |
| Production period | October 1995 — August 2000 |

Defect
On large buses, the electrical wiring routed through the engine compartment is improperly routed, causing it to contact the bolts securing the muffler on some vehicles. Continued operation allows road vibration to abrade the wiring insulation, leading to a short circuit. In the worst case, the brake lamps and other rear-facing lights may fail to illuminate, or the engine may stall and fail to restart.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, add an interference-prevention bracket to the affected area and secure the wiring to the bracket with a band clip. Inspect the wiring and, if damage is found, repair it.
