On certain buses equipped with an Allison transmission, the main power cable within the energy guiding system (EGS), which connects the rear section to the front section, may be incorrectly routed. As a result, the power cable may disconnect, resulting in a loss of power to certain components in the front section of the bus, notably the driveru2019s shift selector. The transmission will default to neutral, which may result in a loss of motive power, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will inspect the power cable and repair as required.
