Certain vehicles are equipped with Vanner 60 Series12/24 volt battery equalizers which may fail in the field without warning. The bus maybe parked with the engine turned off or while the vehicle is in motion when the failure occurs. This could result in the generation of black smoke and/or fire within the engine compartment. Correction: Vehicles will be inspected and equalizers replaced if necessary.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 2001029.
