What NHTSA recorded

Certain flat floor school buses were built with the incorrect hydraulic brake drop hoses from frame to axle. The hoses installed were 3 inches shorter than specified and may fail from tension caused by axle articulation.

Possible consequence

This hose failure will result in the loss of rear brakes, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Dealers will replace the hoses and bleed the brake system. Owner notification began on october 9, 2003. Owners should contact ic at 1-800-843-5615.
