What’s wrong with it?
Contact with the tires may damage the service brake air hose, causing the brakes to become inoperative or lengthening the distance needed to stop the bus, increasing the risk of a crash.
Navistar, Inc.
(Navistar) is recalling certain 2015-2018 IC Bus RE school buses.
The drop hose fittings for the air brakes may not be oriented correctly, and, as a result, the brake hoses may contact the tire when the wheels are turned to the limit.
