Certain buses fail to comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 120 - Tire Selection and Rims. The Cargo-Carrying Capacity label does not contain correct tire pressure information. The label incorrectly indicates tire pressures of 115 kPa / 793 psi, instead of 793 kPa / 115 psi. Improper tire pressure can lead to tire failure which, in turn, can result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Updated labels will be mailed to owners of affected vehicles, along with instructions for proper installation.
