Issue
On certain school buses, the steering shaft lower clamp could contact the rubber close out boot. This would increase the steering effort force necessary to steer the vehicle, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will install a new clamp and reposition the rubber boot. If the rubber boot is found to be torn, the boot will be replaced.
