On certain buses, corrosion of the electrical junction stud on the engine cradle could cause an electrical pathway to form between the stud and its attachment screws. If this were to occur, localized heating could cause the stud housing to melt, creating an increased risk of fire causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Affected junction blocks will be replaced, and anti-corrosion treatment will be applied to the junction block studs and the cable terminals.
