Safety recall notices and repair campaigns registered for the 2016 Ic Bus Re School Bus in Canada.
On certain school buses, the air brake drop hose fittings to the service brake chambers on the steer axle wheel ends may not be oriented correctly. When the steer wheels are turned to their fullest travel and with full suspension articulation, it may result in the hose making contact with the tire and cause damage to the hose and cause an air leak. An inoperative brake at the affected wheel end could result in a pull condition during brake application or an unexpected increase in stopping distance, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will reorient the drop hose fittings and replace any drop hose or wheel speed sensor harness found with abrasion damage.
A failure of this component (brakes) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Authorized dealerships will inspect the vehicle and complete all necessary repairs free of charge (parts and labor).
On certain school buses equipped with a Ricon S-Series wheelchair lift, the platform could potentially crack due to bent knuckle link arms and/or defective bearing. Overtime, the platform could separate of the rear portion of the pivot plate making the lift inoperable and putting the lift operator at risk of injury. Correction: Owners will need to make an appointment with the local Ricon Dealer to have the lift inspected and repaired. Note: This is an expansion of recall 2015-611.

Certain school buses may not conform to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 131 - School Bus Pedestrian Safety Devices. The STOP decal may not adhere properly to the stop sign and could peel off without warning, which could cause it to fail to meet the requirements of the standard. This could increase the risk of injury for the passengers exiting the school bus. Correction: Specialty Manufacturing Inc. will provide owners with a replacement stop sign blade assembly. If owners are not comfortable installing the blade assembly themselves, they can take their vehicle to a dealer for the installation.
