Defect
On certain transit buses equipped with glide-slide doors, the door actuator bracket may have been improperly bent during manufacturing. This causes a crack to develop at the bracket end. Continued operation may cause the bracket to fracture and, in the worst case, prevent the door from opening or closing.
Corrective action
On all affected vehicles, inspect the door actuator bracket. If the bend is improper, add a reinforcement. If a crack is present, also perform necessary repairs.
