January 21, 2010NHTSA 10V015000426 vehicles potentially affected

Power train › Clutch assembly › Pedal/hand lever(motorcycle)

Summary: Daimler buses is recalling certain orion transit buses equipped with the morse remote throttle control. The morse remote throttle control panel is located in the engine compartment and a switch on it is labeled, "throttle"; "off" or "front" and "on" or "rear" selecting the active engine control station. If a person operating the engine from the "rear" position (at the engine) fails to place the switch in the "off" or "front" position and the engine rpm was set to above idle during maintenance for example, when the bus is started from the driver's station the engine could change to the higher rpm resulting in unwanted engine power.
Consequence: The bus could accelerate at a higher rate than anticipated increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Daimler will provide instructions to modify the wiring to the morse throttle control switch. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on April 1, 2010. Owners may contact daimler buses at 1-800-716-7466.
