Vehicle Speed Control
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
On certain buses equipped with cummins electronic control modules on the l10g engines, the ecm does not have the ability to detect a throttle fail-safe engine shutdown command. This could result in an unanticipated, uncommanded open throttle condition without warning.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
If this event occurs, the vehicle operator will not have control of the engine speed, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.

Structure / Body / Door
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
On certain transit buses equipped with adhesively bonded aluminum bus door panels, due to an imperfect bonding of the door panel skin to the panel frame, environmental moisture may infiltrate regions of imperfect bonding and cause separation of the frame and door panel.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
Under these conditions, if the panel is separating or has separated, a passenger could fall from the bus onto the roadway, possibly resulting in personal injury or death.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Vapor will notify customers to have their buses inspected and will install mechanical fasteners to attach the skins to the frame elements free of charge. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact vapor corporation at 847-967-8300 or eldorado at 1-909-591-9557.
