On certain buses, the power cables running to the power distribution unit stud & the driver's control module stud may have been installed with the eyelet lug flat side up. Vibration may wear the insulation permitting direct contact between the bare lug power distribution unit & driver's control module, which could lead to a direct short in the electrical system. This could result in a vehicle fire causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, correct the orientation of the power cable lug.
A failure of this component (electrical) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Authorized dealerships will inspect the vehicle and complete all necessary repairs free of charge (parts and labor).
On certain buses, the brake hoses from the master cylinder to the chassis frame may have been improperly routed or retained. This could allow the hoses to chafe against body and/or chassis components which could cause a leak in the hydraulic brake system. Brake fluid leakage could ultimately result in a reduction of braking capability, which could increase the vehicle's stopping distance and cause a crash with personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if required, replace the brake hoses. In addition, the brake hoses will be repositioned, loom added at the appropriate location, and properly retained.
