For scale, 4,495 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 1 year and 5 months.
Defect
On large touring buses equipped with a cold-climate toilet at the rear of the vehicle, improper installation of the toilet water tank may have caused the toilet freeze-prevention wiring harness to become pinched beneath the tank. This can damage the harness and, in the worst case, cause a short circuit that produces smoke from the interior ceiling panel.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the harness and, if it is found to be pinched, repair it.
