STRUCTURE:BODY
Reduced structural integrity may increase the risk of injury in a crash.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
Reduced structural integrity may increase the risk of injury in a crash.
In the event of a crash, if the buckle mount rod fractures, the seat occupant may not be restrained, increasing their risk of injury.
Contact with the tires may damage the service brake air hose, causing the brakes to become inoperative or lengthening the distance needed to stop the bus, increasing the risk of a crash.
If the bearings move out of position, the stowed platform may have excessive movement resulting in failure of the platform mounting. This failure could cause the wheel chair lift platform to fall out of the vehicle when the doors are opened, increasing the risk of injury for the lift operator.
Absence of the reflective outline tape may reduce conspicuity of the emergency exit roof hatches, reducing the ability of emergency personnel to identify and gain access to the emergency roof hatches, possibly increasing the passenger's risk of personal injury or death during an emergency.
Two 2017 IC BUS RESBs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
