Parker Hannifin recall: Electrical system
What is wrong
Parker hannifin is recalling certain instrument panels, part number 385755, developed specifically for use on new flyer transit buses. Due to a software design defect, the instrument panel may not, under unique and abnormal circumstances, display warnng messages which have been transmitted in an extended byte format.
What could happen
Without warning messages, the driver may continue to operate the vehicle until it goes into a safe mode, which could result in a reduction of power or possibly a stall. Either condition increases the risk of a crash.
The fix
Parker hannifin is working with new flyer to contact their owners, and new flyer dealers will upload a corrected software version. Parker hannifin can be contacted at 1-204-452-6776.
