Issue

On certain school buses, the grid heater relay ground wire may have been incorrectly routed and could chafe against the relay power terminal. Continued contact could wear through the wire’s insulation, which could cause an electrical short circuit. An electrical short could result in a vehicle fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Authorized repair facilities will inspect and, if necessary, reroute the grid heater relay ground wire.
