Filing in context

Issue
On medium-duty route buses equipped with a two-fold ramp, incorrect-material rivets were used at the ramp joint, resulting in insufficient strength at that connection. Continued use may cause the ramp to break during passenger boarding or alighting, causing passengers to fall.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the ramp rivets with rivets of the correct material.
