Defect
On large touring buses, repeatedly operating the turn signals for extended periods may cause the upper portion of the amber cap on the rear turn signal to melt. Continued use causes vapors from the melting cap to cloud the inner surface of the lens and may perforate the top of the cap.
Corrective action
Notify all owners of this condition. If clouding of the lens inner surface or melting of the amber cap is found on the rear turn signals, replace the left and right rear combination lamps with corrected parts.
