On certain buses, should the switch on the remote throttle control panel (located in the engine compartment) not be returned to the "OFF" or "FRONT" position by a servicing technicien, and the engine RPM be set above idle, the bus can still start with the engine at idle, but once the transmission gear is selected and the brake pedal is depressed, the engine could change to a high RPM and the bus could accelerated at a higher rate than anticipated. This could result in a vehicle crash causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Daimler Bus will supply owners with instructions detailing modification to be applied to the throttle control switch wiring harness.

On certain buses equipped with Lift-U wheelchair lift systems, the outboard ramp barrier of the platform lift could inadvertently fold towards a lift occupant and pinch their feet.

Certain buses fail to comply with the requirements of CMVSS 217. During subsequent closing of an emergency exit, the moving window frame interferes with the frame stop located in mid span along the lower edge of the window frame. During the use of an emergency exit window, a window may not open after applying the required forces allowing a person to escape in the event of an emergency. Correction: Once verified that the window is subject to an over-shut condition, the jammed window frame is released by prying from the outside to release the interference and remedied by installing two aluminium blocks each attached by two screws.
