What's wrong?
The brake transmission shift interlock on the 2017 Fccc S2 bus chassis is a safety feature tied to the brake pedal and automatic transmission shifter. In normal use, it keeps the transmission from moving into a drive gear until the brake pedal is pressed. That forces the driver to have the service brakes applied before the bus chassis starts to move.
On affected S2 bus chassis, the interlock feature is inoperable. That means the shifter can move into a drive gear without the driver first pressing the brake pedal. The filing does not identify a separate broken part or root cause, so the practical issue is the missing brake-pedal lockout at the shift lever.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner or driver would only notice the problem by finding that the shifter moves into gear without brake-pedal pressure.

What's the safety risk?
Unintended vehicle movement or rollaway can injure people nearby and increase the risk of a crash. Before parking, make sure the vehicle is fully stopped, shifted as instructed in the owner's manual, and secured with the parking brake. Schedule the software update when the dealer has it ready. Repair will be free at any franchised Fccc dealer once available.
