Service Brakes, Air — Blue Bird · reported 17 May 1993 · 173 vehicles potentially affected
What's wrong
THE FRONT BRAKE AIR LINES ARE INCORRECTLY ROUTED THROUGH THE PRESSURE PROTECTION VALVE AT THE AUXILIARY WET TANK. THIS RESULTS IN LACK OF AIR PRESSURE TO THE FRONT BRAKES WHEN THE AIR PRESSURE IN THE AUXILIARY WET TANK DROPS BELOW 65 P.S.I., RESULTING IN INOPERABLE FRONT BRAKES.
The risk
WHEN THERE IS NO FRONT BRAKE APPLICATION, STOPPINGDISTANCE INCREASES, AND THERE IS AN INCREASED RISK OF ACCIDENT.
The fix
CORRECTLY REROUTE THE BRAKE LINES.
SYSTEM: BRAKES.VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: REAR ENGINE BUSES.
