Defect SummaryOn certain school buses and truck model vehicles manufactured between february 28, 1999, through april 5, 2004, the anti-lock brake system electronic control unit (ecu) may misinterpret a corrupt wheel speed signal.
Consequence SummaryThe corrupt wheel speed signals may improperly activate the abs, instead of deactivating the abs. this may result in the driver experiencing a hard pedal feel and a decrease in deceleration at the end of the stop, resulting in extended stopping distances which could cause a vehicle crash, possibly resulting in property damage, personal injury, or death.

Defect SummaryOn certain school and transit buses built with bosch zero offset pin slide (zops) hydraulic disc brakes, the zops hydraulic disc brakes may experience calipers sticking in the applied position, which can result in excessive or abnormal heat generation at one or more of the brakes.
Consequence SummaryThe combination of the following factors may collectively result in an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety: potential fire at a wheel end, high incident rates of stuck calipers, and evacuation and containment concerns relating to multiple passengers.

Defect SummaryVehicle description: school/transit buses and medium duty trucks. the castings used on the power steering pumps were not built to match the engineering drawings, resulting in a thin wall in the pump casting or a complete connection of two passages that are supposed to be separated to control fluid flow. the fluid flow may be reduced to less than the minimum required flow rate to provide full power assist to the brake system with low engine speed.
Consequence SummaryAn increase in stopping distance at slow engine speeds can result, increasing the possibility of a crash.
Corrective SummaryDealers will inspect and replace all pumps that have the defective casting numbers.
NotesOwner notification began may 31, 2000. owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact international at 1-800-448-7825.also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).
