On certain vehicles, the drag link adjustment collar bolt could contact the pitman arm. As such, the drag link turnbuckle could fracture and fail. A sudden loss of steering control could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the drag link turnbuckle assembly.
A failure of this component (steering) 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 vehicles, the engine calibration for the “limp home” mode was inadvertently set too high at 1750 rpm instead of 1200 rpm. Should the “limp home” mode be activated, the increased idle speed may cause sudden and unexpected acceleration, which could result in very high vehicle speeds and make it difficult to slow or stop the vehicle if the transmission is not shifted into neutral. This could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will install updated engine calibration software.
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 vehicles, the accelerator pedal throttle position sensor could fail. A faulty throttle position sensor will send a permanent idle signal to the Engine Control Unit (ECU). As such, depressing the accelerator pedal will provide no throttle response whatsoever. Loss of vehicle propulsion, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver’s reactions, could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the accelerator pedal throttle position sensor.
A failure of this component (other) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.

On certain vehicles equipped with a Ricon F9 series cassette wheelchair lift, an improperly manufactured switch in the wheelchair lift restraint buckle may allow operation of the lift with the safety belt not fully latched. If the belt is not properly fastened, a wheelchair may not be adequately protected against unwanted movement, resulting a fall risk, potentially causing serious injury or death. Correction: The manufacturer will provide instructional information and warning decals.
A failure of this component (other) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.

On certain vehicles, the screws fixing the passenger seats pedestal assembly to the floor rail system may not be to specifications and may break. If the letter "P" is present on top of bolt head, they must be replaced. Failure of these bolts may cause injury to passenger. Correction: Dealers will replace affected vehicles with the proper bolts.
A failure of this component (other) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.

On certain vehicles the bolts used in the installation of the roof escape hatch could fracture during opening of the hatch for ventilation. If the bolts break, the escape hatch can fall on to the roadway, causing a risk of property damages or even a crash. Correction: Dealers will replace escape hatch bolts.

On certain coaches equipped with ZF-Astronic transmissions, a cell phone placed in the proximity of the shifter touch pad could cause the display to change from R (Reverse) to 2 (second gear) should the phone receive a call. Regardless what the indicator displays, the transmission can only physically engage a forward gear if the vehicle is stopped and the brake pedal is depressed. However, should this occur, and the driver fails to realize the wrong gear is selected (Drive instead of Reverse), a vehicle crash could occur, potentially causing physical injury or death to occupants and/or bystanders. Correction: Dealers will install upgraded transmission software.
A failure of this component (lights and instruments) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.
