• Recall 2012328 [Canada]: Engine
  On certain buses equipped with an i-6 engine, the high pressure engine oil line (between the cylinder head and the high pressure pump) may fail. This would cause an engine oil leak, which could result in sudden engine shut down. Lost vehicle propulsion, in conjunction with traffic and road condition, and the driver’s reactions, could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. In addition, oil may contact a hot engine or exhaust component, which could result in a fire. Correction: dealers will replace the high pressure engine oil line.

• Recall 2008068 [Canada]: Other
  On certain vehicles, the engine oil cooler base plate may crack, allowing pressurized oil to leak into the engine compartment. This may cause engine shut down without warning, and a risk of fire, which could result in property damage, personal injury, or death. Correction: dealers will replace the engine oil cooler.

• Recall 2015611 [Canada]: Accessories
  On certain school buses equipped with a ricon s-series wheelchair lift, the platform could potentially crack due to bent knuckle link arms and/or defective bearing.

• Recall 2013123 [Canada]: Label
  Certain school buses fail to conform to the requirements of cmvss 217 – bus window retention, release and emergency exits. Specifically, push-out windows and other emergency exits may only be identified using unilingual text, instead of using text in both official languages. In the event of an emergency, this could hamper passenger efforts to quickly exit the vehicle, which could increase the risk of personal injuries. Correction: dealers will install updated labels.

• Recall 2010202 [Canada]: Powertrain
  On certain vehicles equipped with an international® vt365 engine, the engine calibration normally responds to a failed open accelerator position sensor circuit fault by returning the engine to low idle speed of 800 rpm and disabling the driver's ability to increase the engine speed. However, if the open circuit condition corrects itself within 30 seconds of its initiation the engine calibration misinterprets this event by going into a "limp home mode" where the engine speed is increased from low idle speed to the high idle speed of 1200 rpm. This increase to high idle speed may occur without warning causing a sudden and unexpected shift in vehicle position possibly resulting in property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: dealers will install an updated engine calibration.

• Recall 2007042 [Canada]: Other
  On certain school buses, the side emergency door holdback mechanism may not have been installed in the proper location during vehicle assembly. This may cause the mechanism to hold the door in the closed position and, in an emergency situation, may result in personal injury or death. Correction: dealers will inspect and, if required, re-locate the holdback mechanism.

• Recall 2006160 [Canada]: Structure
  On certain vehicles, a joint at the rear of the bus where the davenport is attached to the floor does not meet the joint strength requirements of cmvss 221. Correction: dealers will install a retaining bar along the front of the davenport.

• School bus stalling investigation # PE08034

  This pe was opened after odi became aware of 7 events on school buses where the fuse for the ecmoverheated and burned the fuse holder and/or fuse holder terminals.Once overheating of the fuse holder occurs, the fuse blades would no longerbe secured in the plastic holder, thus interrupting the electrical flow.The complaints centered aroundeither a no-start, hard start, erratic engine performance or engine stalling. Odi was also aware of reported battery box fires. Thepe was opened to examine the safety significance and gain a technical understanding of this problem.After discussions with odi and further review of field incidents, ic decided the proper way to handle this issue was to conduct a safety recall during which they willreplace the fuse holders and the power electrical connector on the affected vehicles.This recall action resolves the issues raised by this investigation. Therefore, this investigation is closed.

Reflections off the a-pillar several weeks ago, as a school bus driver, i experienced a disturbing situation while driving one of the new international re transit school buses. I could not see a shadowed area along the right side of the bus well enough to know if a bicyclist [or pedestrian] might have moved into the area. This occurred around 1:50pm on a sunny day as i was stopped on a side street [halcyon st. Facing west] and waiting/watching for the 'gap' in northbound 1st ave. Traffic to make a right turn. I was also tending to some of the unruly elementary students on-board the bus via the inside mirror. After a few minutes, the moment came to start the right turn. My scan and check right into the lower convex mirror [and the lower section of the upper flat mirror] was thwarted by a down-angled white reflected strip on the far side of the right windshield. I tried to reposition myself in the seat to look around it but to no avail. After a few frustrating moments [and missing my gap], i realized i would have to make this turn without full assurance that someone wasn't in the bus shadowed area on my right due to this reflection. Ever since then i have been monitoring when this white reflection occurs and very aware to anticipate and track who might enter and reside in this temporary 'blind spot' despite my attention to the mainstream traffic and students. This occurred the first afternoon i drove the new international bus [b168] on the route. Up to that time, i had been driving the old bluebird bus5 with no problem viewing the right-side shadow area and knowing what was there. This white veiling reflection comes from the sunlight from the front-left side of bus and hits the right-side inner a-pillar [structural post] that is flat and painted white. This white is then reflected onto the front right-side windshield at an angle that cuts across the driver's line of sight to the right side mirrors, with the lower convex mirror being most affected. *tr
