Recall 2018013

The issue

On certain buses, the connections from the front air brake hoses to the ABS modulator valves may not have been tightened to specification during assembly. If the connections were to separate, it would cause a loss of braking capability on the front axle, which could result in longer stopping distances, and would increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Owners will be advised to disconnect the suspect front air brake hose connections, and reinstall the connections to the specified torque.

Description (français)

Sur certains autobus, les raccords entre les flexibles des freins pneumatiques avant et le modulateur des freins ABS pourraient ne pas avoir été serrés conformément aux spécifications au moment de l'assemblage. Si les raccords se détachaient, cela pourrait entraîner une perte de la capacité de freinage au niveau de l'essieu avant, ce qui pourrait augmenter les distances de freinage et augmenter les risques d'accident pouvant entraîner des blessures ou des dommages matériels (ou les deux). Mesure corrective : Les propriétaires seront avisés de débrancher les raccords des flexibles des freins pneumatiques avant et de les reposer au couple prescrit.
