- The problem
- Certain transit buses fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 108, "Lamps reflective devices, and associated equipment." The flashing deceleration lamps were an optional item for some of these buses.
- The risk
- The standard requires that the deceleration lamp is a solid light rather than a flashing light.
- The fix
- Dealers will rewire the electrical system to remove the flashing function or install a new programmable logic controller (plc) which will make the lamps burn steady free of charge. The recall began on march 5, 2007. Owners may contact new flyer at 204-934-4874.
