Issue

On large and medium-sized transit buses, the material and structure of the protective trim on the edge of the interior fuel tank cover are improper. When passengers board or alight, luggage or other items may contact the trim, causing the outer skin to wear away and expose the internal metal core. Continued use allows passengers to contact the exposed metal edge and sustain injury.

Corrective action

On all vehicles, replace the protective trim on the edge of the interior fuel tank cover with a corrected part.
