Defect
On large buses, the metal water supply tank for the toilet has insufficient strength at its mounting points. This allows the mounting points to fail and the tank to fall from the vehicle. If the tank detaches, the toilet electrical wiring secured to it is damaged and may cause a vehicle fire.
Corrective action
(1) On all vehicles, secure the water supply tank with a retaining belt. (2) On all vehicles, inspect the toilet electrical wiring for damage and relocate the mounting position and routing. If wiring damage is found, repair it.
