Mercedes Benz Bus Citaro: Short Circuit May Occur
Mercedes Benz Bus Citaro Recall Summary Mercedes Benz is recalling 420 Citaro buses because condensation from the roof panels can drip onto the auxiliary switch panel's circuit board, potentially causing electrical malfunctions in components like rear lights and heating systems. If the problem isn't fixed, it could eventually produce smoke and create a theoretical fire risk. The manufacturer will install a cover over the auxiliary switch panel to prevent condensation from reaching the circuit board.
