Recalls

If a passenger tries to exit the lavatory compartment by pushing with his back against the lavatory window and his legs against the lavatory door, the window can separate.
Risk and remedy
Risk
If the window separates, the occupant can fall through the window and suffer severe and/or extreme injuries.
Remedy
Dealers will install a rail in the lavatory compartment window so that lavatory occupants can press against the rail rather than the window, and to help the passenger to keep balance while the vehicle IS moving.
The parking brake button can be hit accidently allowing the parking brake to release.
Risk and remedy
Risk
Unintended operation of the parking brake button can allow the bus to roll freely causing a potential for a vehicle accident.
Remedy
Dealers will install a protector over the parking brake button in order to prevent accidental release of the parking brakes.
The steering arm can develop cracks caused by repetitive dry-park-steer maneuvers, particularly during brake application. Continued use can cause the steering arm to break.
Risk and remedy
Risk
A broken steering arm causes complete loss of vehicle control which can result in a possible accident.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the defective steering arm with a new steering arm.
