    Steering / Hydraulic Power Assist / Pump

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    On certain school and transit buses the studs used to secure the power steering pump to the engine block can fail, resulting in engine oil leakage and complete loss of power steering. The power steering pump is designed to provide power assist to both the steering system and the hydraulic braking system. Should stud failure cause the pump to become disengaged from its drive gears, a reduction of the fluid flow rate to the brake system could occur and possibly cause an extended stopping distance as well as increased steering wheel efforts.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    Sudden loss of power steering will impair the vehicle operator, possible resulting in a vehicle crash.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record

    Vehicle Speed Control

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    On certain school and transit buses equipped with electronic throttle control/accelerator pedals supplied by williams controls industries, the weld attaching the clevis to the plate has insufficient penetration and could allow the clevis to separate from the plate.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    If the clevis separated from the plate while the vehicle was in use, the vehicle would return to idle, increasing the risk of a crash.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
