Flxible Transit Coach

Reported Nov 19, 1979808 vehicles affectedGRUMMAN FLXIBLE CORP.

The defect

The nylon hose that connects the quick release valve and the anchor coupling at the rear of the front axle was found to be excessively long. When the bus executes extreme right and left turns, the curbside nylon brake hose interferes with the tire. This intermittent interference will cause the nylon hose to chafe and ultimately fail.

The remedy

Dealer will inspect the nylon hose for chafing or interference and, if necessary, reroute the brake hose. This will be done at no cost to owner.
