2002–2004 Orion VII recall: door latches & locks
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain buses, the battery storage sliding tray locking toggle was not tightened sufficiently. The battery door CAN open allowing the battery tray to slide out from the stored position.
💥 The risk
This could cause an obstacle, which could result in a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will inspect and add a locking pin to keep the battery tray from sliding. Orion has not yet provided an owner notification schedule for this campaign. Customers may also contact orion at 1-905-403-7832.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
