Issue

On certain buses, the connections from the front air brake hoses to the ABS modulator valves may not have been tightened to specification during assembly. If the connections were to separate, it would cause a loss of braking capability on the front axle, which could result in longer stopping distances, and would increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Owners will be advised to disconnect the suspect front air brake hose connections, and reinstall the connections to the specified torque.
