Issue

On certain school buses, the fuel line (between the fuel/water separator and the engine) may contact the hydraulic brake lines, causing abrasion damage which could result in a brake fluid leak. This could increase stopping distances, possibly resulting in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the fuel and brake lines.
