| Defect Summary | The primary circuit connection, which provides primary electrical power to the engine, could deteriorate due to high current draw produced by builder-installed equipment. | |||||||||||||||
| Consequence Summary | ||||||||||||||||
| Corrective Summary | The main cab wiring harness electrical connector will be modified to eliminate deterioration at no charge to owner. | |||||||||||||||
| Notes | Vehicle description: school buses.system: electrical; primary circuit connector.consequences of defect: depending on the degree of deterioration present,intermittent or complete loss of all vehicle electrical power could result.this would cause the engine to stop running and power steering assist and powerassist for hydraulic brakes would be lost, if the vehicle is so equipped. thesefailures could occur without warning, possibly resulting in an accident.note: vehicle should be removed from service until the problem is corrected. | |||||||||||||||

| Defect Summary | The master cylinder to chasis brake tube and hose assemblies may have been moved from their intended position, which could allow chafing against underbody components. chafing promotes wear of the brake tube and hose assembly and could cause a loss of brake fluid. | |||||||||||||||
| Consequence Summary | ||||||||||||||||
| Corrective Summary | Upon inspection brake tube clips will be installed, if necessary, and brake tubes and hose assemblies will be replaced or rerouted. | |||||||||||||||
| Notes | Vehicle description: school buses equipped with hydraulic brakes.system: service brakes; brake tube and hose assembly.consequences of defect: on models with standard split system hydraulic brakes,loss of brake fluid could cause loss of vehicle braking in the affected system.a portion of the brake system would remain functional but vehicle stoppingdistance would be significantly increased and an accident could result. formodels with single system hydraulic brakes, a sufficient loss of brake fluidcould result in loss of service brakes, loss of vehicle control, and anaccident.note: in both single and split braking systems, the vehicle operator may noticea drop in brake pedal height during application in the early stages of brakeline failure. on split system hydraulic brakes, loss of brake fluid in one partof the system may be detected by illumination of the brake warning lamp.vehicle should not be driven if warning light is activated or visible chafingof the brake tube or hose assembly exists, until the problem is corrected. | |||||||||||||||
