The defect
Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain model year 2015 IC RE non-school Transit Buses manufactured November 4, 2014, to November 18, 2014. In the affected vehicles, the air brake hose for the front wheel service brakes may contact the tires when the steering is fully turned.
The risk
Contact with the tire may result in hose abrasion, resulting in an air leak, causing the vehicle to pull to one side when braking and/or requiring extra distance to stop the bus. Either condition may increase the risk of a crash.
