What’s wrong with it?
IF THE WELD BREAKS OR FALLS OFF, THE VACUUM PUMP COULD SHIFT CAUSING THE MISALIGNMENT AND EVENTUALLY LOSE THE DRIVE BELT WHICH COULD LEAD TO THE LOSS OF THE PRIMARY BRAKING SYSTEM, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A VEHICLE CRASH.
ON CERTAIN DIESEL BUSES BUILT ON FORD E-SERIES CHASSIS AND EQUIPPED WITH CARRIER AIR CONDITIONING, THE MOUNTING BRACKET WELDS CAN BREAK OR FALL OFF.

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.
