On certain vehicles, the steering drag link turnbuckle may crack and fracture over time. If this were to occur, it could result in a complete loss of steering control, which would create a risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will replace the steering drag link.
A failure of this component (steering) 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 booster stud connection could become rusted, which could lead to a weakened connection. A compromised connection could allow the power cable to release and consequently ground on the frame, possibly resulting in an electrical short circuit. An electrical short could result in a vehicle fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect for corrosion and a protective box will be added. Any corroded cables found will be replaced.

On certain vehicles, the jump-start positive terminal block cable could chafe against various components which, over time, could cause abrasion damage to the cable insulation, possibly resulting in an electrical short circuit. An electrical short could result in a vehicle fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will install a protective convolute sleeve over the cable.

On certain vehicles, the power steering hose protective skin may have been damaged during vehicle assembly. Over time, the metallic braiding may rust to a point where the hose will fail under pressure. This could result in a loss of steering control leading to a vehicle crash causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will affect repairs.

On certain vehicles, the internal rubber check valve inside the Bendix SR-7 spring brake modulating valve can become deformed over time. The effect of this defect is intermittent and presents a potential delay or failure in applying the parking brakes; potentially resulting in a vehicle roll away. Should this occur, the unattended roll away vehicle could strike a bystander or cause property damage. Correction: Dealers will install a check valve repair kit.
A failure of this component (brakes) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.

On certain coaches equipped with ZF-Astronic transmissions, a cell phone placed in the proximity of the shifter touch pad could cause the display to change from R (Reverse) to 2 (second gear) should the phone receive a call. Regardless what the indicator displays, the transmission can only physically engage a forward gear if the vehicle is stopped and the brake pedal is depressed. However, should this occur, and the driver fails to realize the wrong gear is selected (Drive instead of Reverse), a vehicle crash could occur, potentially causing physical injury or death to occupants and/or bystanders. Correction: Dealers will install upgraded transmission software.
A failure of this component (lights and instruments) 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 motor coaches, a check valve inside the spring brake modulating valve may not properly seat causing internal air leakage. The leakage can result in delayed application of the spring brakes to park the vehicle after the operator pulls the dash valve button. The delayed parking brake application can occur without warning leading to unintended vehicle rollaway, increasing the risk of a crash. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if required, replace the brake valve.
