“Thomas C2 - amu park brake switch, 2007-2008 year models problem: my office received reports from scde maintenance facilities of continued failures with the air brake interlock system air management unit (amu). The failure mode of current concern is with the park brake switch in the amu. This failure mode prevents the release of the park brakes. The scde operates 879 of these units. Concern: when this type of failure occurs, the driver can no longer release the park brakes. School bus drivers are trained to set the park brakes each time they are loading/unloading students. …”
