Issue
On certain buses, the software for the Electric Transit Operator (ETO) control module which controls the rear passenger exit door may contain an error. This could result in a higher than required output torque from the ETO control module when the door is in a fully open position, which over time may result in a fracture of the rear door roller plate. If the roller plate fails there is a potential for the rear door to open inadvertently while the bus is in motion, which would increase the risk for injury to vehicle occupants, and/or result in damage to property. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the ETO control module, and replace both rear door roller plates with more robust versions.
