Issue

Issue: Certain buses built with a rear tag-axle steering system may exhibit a steering lock-up at highway speed. Safety Risk: This problem could cause a sudden loss of steering control that could create the risk of a crash. Corrective Action: A final repair has not yet been determined. The cause of this problem is under investigation. In the interim, the company will notify owners by mail and advise them to immediately verify that the rear tag-axle caster adjustment is within specification.
