On certain vehicles equipped with Kidde fire extinguishers with black plastic handles and valves, the fire extinguishers may become clogged or require excessive force to activate. Also, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force that it could cause injury, and fail to discharge. In case of fire, failure of the extinguisher to function could result in injury and/or property damage. Correction: Owners will be provided with instructions on how to inspect the fire extinguisher to see if it is recalled. Replacement fire extinguishers will be supplied by Kidde directly. Note: For more information about recalled fire extinguishers, please visit www.kidde.com.

On certain buses, the stem which joins the outside emergency door handle to the emergency door opening mechanism may potentially corrode. Excessive material loss of the stem due to corrosion could result in the outside handle separating from the door mechanism while trying to open the door from the exterior of the bus. In the event of an emergency, this could delay evacuation of the vehicle and increase the risk of injury to occupants. Correction: Dealers will inspect the stems and either replace or protect them agianst further corrosion.

Authorized dealerships will inspect the vehicle and complete all necessary repairs free of charge (parts and labor).
Certain buses may not comply with Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108 - Lighting System and Retroreflective Devices. The Daytime Running Lights (DRL) may not illuminate when the master lighting switch is set to the parking lamps position. No DRL illumination could render the vehicle less visible to other motorists and pedestrians during daylight hours, which could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will update the DRL configuration on affected vehicles.

On certain vehicles, the stop lamps may operate intermittently during light braking applications. Failure of the brake lamps to illuminate when the brakes are applied may result in the following road users being unaware of the driver's intentions, increasing the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the hydraulic brake light switch assembly.

On certain buses, contacts in the pressure switch for the low current brake lamp signal to the chassis Electronic Control Unit (ECU) may become contaminated by the presence of silicone used during assembly. Over time insulating deposits may build up on the contacts and affect the operation of the brake lamp signal to the chassis ECU, thereby preventing brake lamp illumination. Failure to clearly indicate intentions to following motorists could result in a vehicle crash causing injuries or death. Correction: Dealers will replace the pressure switch "A" module in the Air Management Unit (AMU).
