Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.
What’s wrong with it?
An unexpected engine shutdown increases the risk of a crash. Additionally, a disabled coach bus may require an evacuation procedure in an uncontrolled traffic situation, increasing the risk of injury to passengers.
Volvo Bus Corporation (Volvo Bus) is recalling certain 2023-2025 Volvo 9700 buses.
Metallic debris within the electrical connectors of the Automatic Fire Suppression System (AFSS) may cause a short circuit, resulting in a false warning to the driver, an engine shutdown, and the release of chemical fire extinguishing agent in the engine compartment.
