Issue
On certain school buses, the brake light switch may have been incorrectly adjusted during vehicle assembly. Also, the brake light switch mounting bracket may deform during a “hard” return of the brake pedal. Both issues could prevent the brake lamps from illuminating when the brakes are applied, which would result in the following road users being unaware of the driver’s intentions, increasing the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the brake light switch and the mounting bracket with updated versions.
