Power train: manual transmissionReported July 23, 2002 · 109 vehicles affected

What is wrong: On certain streetcars (diesel and cng models) and rt-52 diesel coaches manufactured with at-545 and mt643 transmissions which use a manual transmission control cable. The transmission control cable may rub against the junction box power stud located on the bottom of the junction box.
Risk: Long-term wear can allow the power stud to short to ground through the transmission control cable, resulting in electrical arcing and the ignition of combustible materials in the junction box compartment.
Remedy: Dealers will inspect the vehicle to determine if either the power stud insulation boot and/or the transmission shift cable clamp is missing. Both the insulation boot and the clamp will be installed if missing. Owner notification is expected to begin during july 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact chance coach at 1‑888‑391‑1777.
