Issue

Issue:
On certain buses, the brake hoses may be routed incorrectly and could become damaged or fail. If this happens, air could leak from the hose and cause a delay in the front brakes activating. This would reduce braking performance.

Safety Risk:
Reduced brake performance can cause extended stopping distances and increase the risk of a crash.

Corrective Actions:
Motor Coach Industries (MCI) will notify owners by mail and instruct you to inspect the brake hoses. MCI will supply replacement parts and advise owners to replace any hoses that are leaking or damaged.
