The hazard
On certain school buses, the body Power Distribution Module (PDM) was manufactured with copper circuits that are too thin for the electrical loads encountered, possibly resulting in an overheat condition. This condition, if not addressed, may cause a vehicle fire, possibly resulting in property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will replace the PDM with an updated unit.
