What's wrong
GLAVAL BUS IS RECALLING 10 MY 2005 CONCORDE TRANSIT BUSES. THE HYDRAULIC BRAKE LINES MAY CONTACT THE TRANSMISSION DIPSTICK TUBE AS THE ENGINE ROCKS.

CONTINUED CONTACT BETWEEN THE BRAKE LINE AND THE DIPSTICK TUBE COULD ABRADE THE BRAKE LINE, CAUSING A LEAK AND LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID WHICH COULD LEAD TO REDUCED BRAKE PERFORMANCE. REDUCED BRAKING PERFORMANCE COULD RESULT IN A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING.
