An Air Canada Airbus A320-200, registration C-FLSS performing flight AC-183 from Montreal,QC to Vancouver,BC (Canada) with 152 people on board, was climbing through about 12,000 feet when the crew received an thrust lever disagree indication for the right hand engine (CFM56), stopped the climb at 13,000 feet and requested to return to Montreal. While on final approach to Monreal's runway 06L the crew declared emergency when the right hand engine rolled back to flight idle without command and continued for a safe landing on runway 06L.

The Canadian TSB reported maintenance replaced the right hand engine alternator stator because leaking oil had contaminated the electrical cannon plug connector.

A replacement Airbus A320-200 reached Vancouver with a delay of 2:15 hours.
