Over 400 New Routemasters will be receiving software updates following a rear door malfunction – Transport for London (TfL) has confirmed to CBW.

The system became overloaded with close requests and so opened the door to attempt a re-cycle.

The recall notice has been issued as the bus’ operator, Arriva London, self-reported the issue to the DVSA (Driver Vehicle Standards Agency). The vehicles are not being ‘recalled’ back to Wrightbus but are receiving software updates in local bus garages.

As a precaution, the manufacturer, Wrightbus, is carrying out a software update at no cost to Transport for London.”
