In some cases, a minor fire occurred damaging nearby electrical harnesses. An immediate shut down of the bus can increase the risk of a crash or injury of passengers when transferring to another bus.Odi is opening this investigation to evaluate the cause, consequence, scope and frequency of the alleged defect in the subject prevost buses.
