On certain school buses, the service air brake pedal, for both non-adjustable and adjustable brake pedals, may contact the front structure of the floor/firewall, limiting the maximum brake force available. Insufficient air brake pressure can cause extended stopping distances without prior warning, resulting in a vehicle crash. Correction: Dealers will replace the pedal pushrod with a longer one.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 2007087.
