Defect
On medium-duty route buses equipped with a double solenoid valve door open/close mechanism on the rear sliding door, the electrical circuit controlling door operation is improperly designed. If the switch that detects the door closed position fails, the door will not close when the driver operates the door-close control. Despite the door remaining open, the warning lamp at the driver's station will not illuminate and the open-door departure prevention device (accelerator interlock) will not activate.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, add a relay to the affected circuit and modify the wiring.
