Daimler Buses is recalling certain Orion transit buses equipped with a Morse remote throttle control switch in the engine compartment. If an operator fails to switch the control from the "rear" position to the "off" or "front" position after maintenance work, and the engine RPM was set above idle, the bus could accelerate at a higher rate than expected when started from the driver's station, increasing the risk of a crash.
Daimler will provide free instructions to modify the wiring to the Morse throttle control switch. Owners should contact Daimler Buses at 1-800-716-7466 to arrange this service.
