Issue

Under certain conditions, a software problem could cause the parking brake to apply suddenly while driving. Note: This recall only affects certain electric school buses equipped with the Accelera PowerDrive and the brake interlock feature.

Safety risk

A parking brake that self-applies while driving could increase the risk of a crash.

Corrective actions
