On certain buses, an error in the inverter software may cause the electric drive system to shut down unexpectedly while driving. This could result in a loss of power to the wheels.
Note: The bus may be restarted again once it is brought to a full stop.

Safety Risk:
A sudden loss of power to the wheels increase the risk of a crash.
