Issue: rnThis recall is for brake chambers installed on certain transit buses or sold as a replacement part. rnrnOn certain transit buses, the brake chamber(s) on the rear axle may be defective. As a result, air could leak from the chamber and cause the parking brake to apply while driving without the brake lights turning on. If this happens, the brakes could overheat. rnrnSafety Risk: rnA parking brake that self-applies while driving without the brake lights turning on could cause a person not to recognize that the vehicle is braking. This could increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, overheated brakes could create the risk of a fire. rnrnCorrective Actions: rnNova Bus will notify owners by mail and provide you with instructions for how to inspect and, if necessary, replace the brake chamber(s).
