    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    In such a case, a loss of steering would occur.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Dealers will verify the size of the bolt and nut and replace them if needed. Owner notification began april 4, 2003.

    Electrical System / 12v/24v/48v Battery

    Visibility / Glass, Side/Rear

    Defect, in the NHTSA record

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Vehicle description: transit buses and bus shells. Some brake line hoses may have been manufactured using heater hose material instead of brake line hose material. Heater hoses are not appropriate for use as brake lines because the operating pressure of the braking system is much higher than that of the heating system.

    This could result in sudden brake line failure.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Dealers will replace the heater hoses with correct brake line hoses.

    Dealers will inspect the bolts, lubricating them, installing a new locking tab plate, and retightening the bolts.
