On certain school buses equipped with a hybrid transmission with PARK feature, the reverse idler shaft may contact the PARK feature and the two components may bind, preventing the PARK feature from engaging. Should an operator place the transmission in PARK and exit the vehicle without properly applying the parking brakes, the vehicle could roll away, which could result in a crash causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will install a reverse idler shaft retention kit.
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 2010188.
