stm_5307N Posted October 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 The M de M is right. There was no 3rd gens out today! Seems like there's a defect with them.. LA must have been short buses big time today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerbil Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 They had a lot of SD 29s out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. David Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 All I saw were 29s 044 & 050, but since SD has a boatload of 29s, I guess it was somewhat easy for them to lend a few to LA for the day. I wonder what happened with the 3rd-gens, though. Since they were not on the road, LA was short ~50 buses or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystic Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 I don't think any 3rd gen was out today!! I wonder i9f there is a problem with them Probably has something to do with that fire that happened in the wheel well last week with one of them. Nova has always created problems like this for the STM. If you'll remember the last Nova fiasco with the 1st gens. We can be thankful though, it saved us the New Looks and GMs for a good few years past their retirement date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stm_5307N Posted October 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 I got 100% confirmation that all 3rd gens are pulled form the road. I have to call my contact tomorrow and he'll give me the exact reason why. Hopefully I'll get through to him and find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to call my contact tomorrow and he'll give me the exact reason why. Hopefully I'll get through to him and find out. You can take what I'm going to say with a grain of salt, since the source is not always that reliable, but apparently it has something to do with the over steering problems that the 3rd gens have had, and they were forced to lock the amount of steering that the bus could make. Which would make it impossible to make tight corners, and could potentially be a safety hazard if manoeuvrability was a concern. This could also explain why there have been fires reported in the wheel rim. The wheel would be rubbing against the inside wheel well. The reason why the 114-121 will be in service is because the problem was addressed for the 3rd gen version 2.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andru Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Only a fraction of the 3rd gen buses seem to have the problem, as per this Transport Canada recall record: http://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/saf-sec-sur/7/vrdb...-1〈=eng Road Safety Recalls Database Transport Canada Recall # 2009253 Recall Date: 2009/08/27 Notification Type: Safety Mfr System: Steering Manufacturer Recall Number: CR1421 Units Affected: 75 Category: Bus Recall Details: On certain vehicles, the front tires may contact surrounding mechanical components during a tight turning manoeuvre. Over time, tire rub damage could cause tire failure which, in turn, can result in a vehicle crash causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will affect repairs.

Andru Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 I wonder when it will be fixed. It was pretty quick for Grand River Transit where I believe they fixed this very problem back in September. Their 2009 buses were off the streets for a week or so? Of course they only have 13 of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
