On certain low floor transit buses, the air dryer assembly may have a faulty timer module. Air entering the brake system may not have moisture removed. If not properly drained, small ice crystals may form in the brake system. This could impair proper functioning of the air brake system and cause a vehicle crash. Correction: Owner notification including repair instructions will be supplied. Fleet customers are to replace the air dryer timer module assembly with an updated version.
