On certain school buses equipped with hydraulic brakes, the parking brake pedal may deform upon application, which may prevent the parking brakes from fully applying. This may permit the bus to roll unexpectedly when parked, which could cause a crash resulting in property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will install a relocating bracket on the parking brake assembly. If the parking brake pedal is already deformed, a new pedal assembly will be installed.
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 2011008.
