What happened

Vapor Bus International is recalling certain Electric Transit Operator (ETO) Controller Assemblies with part number 51220550 that were manufactured between March 7, 2013, and December 21, 2015. These assemblies control a bus door operator motor and brake and contain a software defect that may cause the rear door guide roller linkage to fail, resulting in the rear bus door opening unexpectedly while the bus is in motion, which increases the risk of injury to passengers.

To remedy this issue, Vapor Bus will notify owners and dealers will update the ETO Controller Assembly software and replace all roller brackets at no charge. The recall began on April 12, 2016. Affected consumers should contact Vapor Bus customer service at 1-847-777-6423.
