On certain buses, circuit breakers may trip unnecessarily resulting in a loss of power to chassis and body electrical circuits. Unexpected loss of exterior lighting and/or engine stalling, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver's reaction, could increase the risk of a crash. Correction: Dealers will replace the solid state dual power switch with mechanical circuit protection (Mega Fuse).
