An incorrect size brake chamber may have been installed on the front and/or rear brake assemblies which could affect the brake balance and stopping distance.
Risk and remedy
Risk
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.
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.
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.
