On certain coaches equipped with a wheelchair lift system, a malfunction of the door latches would allow the upper wheelchair door to open. Should this occur while the vehicle is under way, the open door would leave passengers at risk of falling from the vehicle, which could cause personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will install an audible alarm in the driver's area to provide additional alert in the event the door is not fully closed and latched. The upper latch will also be reinforced to improve its durability.
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 2009254.
