Fleet Defect definition

Fleet Defect means cumulative failures of twenty (20%) percent of the same components in the same or similar application in a minimum fleet size of twelve (12) or more buses where such items are covered by warranty. A Fleet Defect applies only to the base warranty period in for Complete Bus, Propulsion System, and Subsystems Warranty. When a Fleet Defect is declared, the remaining warranty period on that item/component is suspended. The warranty period does not resume until the Fleet Defect is corrected. For the purpose of Fleet Defects, each order shall be treated as a separate bus fleet. In addition, if there is a change in a major component within the order, the buses containing the new major component will become a separate bus fleet for the purposes of determining Fleet Defects. Contractor shall correct a Fleet Defect under the warranty provisions defined in Section 13 Repair Procedure. After correcting the Fleet Defect, Participant and Contractor shall mutually agree to and Contractor shall promptly undertake and complete a work program reasonably designed to prevent the occurrence of the same Fleet Defect in all other buses and spare parts purchased under the order. Where the specific Fleet Defect is solely attributed to particular identifiable parts, the work program will include redesign and/or replacement of only the defectively designed and/or manufactured parts. In all other cases, the work program will include inspection and/or correction of all the buses in the fleet via a mutually agreed-to arrangement. Contractor shall update, as necessary, technical support information (parts, service and operator’s manuals) due to changes resulting from warranty repairs. Participant may immediately declare a defect in design resulting in a safety hazard to be a Fleet Defect. Contractor shall be responsible to furnish, install and replace all defective units. The Fleet Defect warranty provisions do not apply to Participant-supplied items, such as radios, fare collection equipment, communication systems, and tires. In addition, Fleet Defects do not apply to interior and exterior finishes, hoses, fittings, and fabric.
