High riskHealth Canada

An official Health Canada notice concerns Arboc Mobility - Creative carriage. On certain transit buses, the positive cable from the alternator to the battery could become pinched between the blower motor housing and the transmission dipstick tube, which could allow the cable protective convolute and insulation to wear through to the wire. Should exposed wire come in contact with the transmission dipstick tube, it could cause an electrical short, which could result in a fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will reroute the positive cable. Published 2011-05-16.
