Defect
On route buses, the method of securing the air cylinder bracket and the rotating shaft that operates the glide-slide door is improperly designed, causing cracks to develop in the retaining spring pins. Continued use may cause the spring pins to fracture. In the worst case, if both spring pins fracture, the door may open while the vehicle is in motion or the driver may lose the ability to operate the door from the driver's seat.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, the complete door rotation mechanism assembly is replaced with a corrected part.
