What’s wrong with it?
IF THE BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT ACTIVATE PROPERLY, OTHER DRIVERS WOULD NOT BE AWARE OF THE BRAKE APPLICATION, WHICH COULD LEAD TO A CRASH.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: STRIPPED CHASSIS AND COMMERCIAL BUSES AND SCHOOL BUSES EQUIPPED WITH HYDRAULIC BRAKES AND AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS.
THE MISALIGNMENT OF THE BRAKE PEDAL CAN CAUSE DELAYED BRAKE LIGHT ACTIVATION DURING LIGHT BRAKING APPLICATIONS.

What the record doesn’t say
- NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
- Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
- This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
- How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
