Vehicle speed controlReported September 10, 2002 · 137 vehicles affected

What is wrong: On certain buses equipped with electronic throttle control/accelerator pedals supplied by williams controls industries, the weld attaching the clevis to the plate has insufficient penetration and could allow the clevis to separate from the plate.
Risk: If the clevis separated from the plate while the vehicle was in use, the vehicle would return to idle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Chance coach recommends that owners inspect their vehicles and install the part kit provided by chance coach. Owners who do not receive the free parts and instructions within a reasonable time should contact chance coach at 1‑888‑391‑1777.

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.
