Brake imbalance may cause loss of vehicle control during brake applications; increased stopping distance or brake application could result in loss of control and an accident.

The remedy

Bus owners will be provided with instructions to inspect their vehicles and provide blue bird with certain information. Blue bird will review the information and, where needed, will forward replacement brake chambers along with replacement instructions to the vehicle owners. Brake chamber replacement will be performed by the vehicle owner or a qualified repair facility.
