    SHORT-CIRCUIT MAY OCCUR / RISK OF FIRE

    Remedy

    Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and inspect the power cable to pre-heater to ensure there is no damage or contact with any abrasive surfaces or edges. The cable should be replaced if there is significant damage. Correct clamping by adding a rubber spacer at each of the two concerned clamping points according to instruction below. Also add a 7 mm spacer washer under the existing cable tie at the pre-heater relay box.

    VEHICLE MAY MOVE FORWARDS UNINTENTIONALLY

    Defect

    It is possible that a hybrid bus standing still with the diesel engine running on idle could suddenly move by itself. An incorrect accelerator pedal system can provide the gearbox with a corrupt acceleration request signal. The gearbox can change clutch status from disengaged to engaged which results in sudden vehicle movement if the vehicle is left in gear with the handbrake off.

    Remedy

    Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and update the I-shift gearbox software.
