Recall 2002086

The issue

On certain school buses the brake hoses from the chassis to front brake chambers could develop leaks due to the hose routing that could overstress the hose during sharp turns. The vehicle could have reduced braking capacity, increasing the risk of a crash. Correction: Dealers will inspect for improper routing. If improper routing is found, dealers will replace and correct the hose routing.

Description (français)

Sur certains autobus scolaires, les conduites de frein qui vont du châssis aux récepteurs de freinage avant ont été installées au mauvais endroit et peuvent fuir si elles sont soumises à des contraintes excessives dans les virages serrés, ce qui pourrait réduire la puissance de freinage et faire augmenter les risques d'accident. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront vérifier si les conduites de frein sont bien acheminées et les remplacer ou en refaire l'acheminement le cas échéant.
