Safety recall notices and repair campaigns registered for the 2006 Orion Vii in Canada.
On certain buses equipped with Sure Power battery equalizers and/or convertors, the equalizer and/or convertor could develop an internal short circuit, resulting in a risk of overheating, smoke and/or fire. This may result in property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Owners will be supplied with replacement parts and instructions on how to affect repairs. Alternatively, the manufacturer may carry out on-site repairs.
A failure of this component (electrical) 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 2008-2010 hybrid buses, and 2005-2008 buses converted from lead acid to a Li-Ion Energy Storage System (Li-Ion ESS), particulate debris can accumulate and breach the electrical isolation of the high voltage battery pack. A conductive path can be created if the electrical isolation is breached at both ends of the battery, which could result in the unintended discharge of the battery. This could result in a vehicle fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: BAE Systems Inc. will install a contactor to break currently flow in cases where the electrical isolation is breached at both ends of the battery. Additionally, the system will be modified to disable Li-Ion ESS operation when a breach of the electrical isolation is detected.
A failure of this component (high voltage) 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 transit buses, the dual voltage electrical system equalizer, located in the engine compartment, could fail. This could result in a vehicle fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the equalizer with a version suited for operation within an engine compartment.

On certain vehicles, the routing of the alternator cable may cause the cable to rub against engine components. If not detected during regular maintenance inspections the insulation can rub to a point of exposing the electrified cable which could create an arc that could result in a fire. Correction: A notice will sent to the affected customers to inspect for proper routing, correct the proper routing and replace any components showing signs of wear.

On certain buses, the exhaust elbow may have been incorrectly welded during the assembly process. As a result, an exhaust leak could develop, possibly causing heat damage to surrounding components, including wiring for the tail lamps. A loss of tail lamp function will make the vehicle less visible to other road users past daylight hours. Should the vehicle continue to be operated with an exhaust leak, a vehicle fire could result. Correction: Dealers will replace the exhaust elbow.
A failure of this component (other) 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 buses, the brake air dryer timer does not function properly. Air entering into the brake system may not have the moisture removed. If not properly drained, small ice crystals may form in the brake system. This could impair proper functioning of the air brake system and cause a vehicle crash. Correction: Dealers will affect repairs.
A failure of this component (brakes) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.
