Affected vehicles

Mercedes-Benz Citaro G 2013

Hazard

In articulated buses, the station brake (brake that operates when the passenger door opens) has an improper control program. When the parking brake is engaged while the station brake is holding the vehicle at a stop, a time lag occurs before the station brake disengages after the parking brake is released, creating a risk of unexpected vehicle movement.

Remedy

All vehicles: reprogram the station brake control program with the corrective software.
