Issue: rnOn certain buses, the power steering pipes from the rear engine bay to the front gear box may separate at the connection joint. If this happens, power steering fluid could spill from the ceiling inside the passenger compartment of the bus and there could be a loss of power steering assist. rnrnSafety Risk: rnA loss of power steering assist would result in a sudden increase in steering effort, especially at low vehicle speeds. This could increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, a power steering fluid spill inside the bus could create a risk of injury. rnrnCorrective Actions: rnNova Bus will notify owners in writing and provide them with directions for inspecting and replacing the power steering pipes.
