Description (français)

Nota : Vise les autobus interurbains.On a découvert que, sur les six roues du véhicule, les six boulons de montage qui passent à travers la plaque de couple et qui servent à retenir le porte-étrier étaient soit vissés à un couple de serrage insuffisant, soit partiellement dévissés ou manquants. La perte des boulons peut permettre à l’étrier de frein d’entrer en contact avec la jante, ce qui pourrait diminuer la puissance de freinage.Correction : Les véhicules devront être inspectés et les boulons de montage de l’étrier de chaque roue devront être resserrés au couple indiqué.
