Defect

On small low-floor buses, the circuit for the door position detection switch is improperly designed, allowing current exceeding the rated value to flow through the contacts when the switch activates. This causes contact surface damage. Continued use may result in the contacts remaining permanently closed, and in the worst case, the door may become unable to close.

Corrective action

On all vehicles, a resistor is added to the switch circuit and the switch is replaced with a new unit.
