For large route buses, the air pipes and the power steering pipes may interfere with the under floor support beam located at the rear of the bus because of inappropriate placements of the pipes. If this problem is left unattended, (1) the air pipes may be damaged, which may allow air to leak and/or cause the horn to fail, and in the worst case this could result in reduced braking efficiency, (2) the power steering pipes may be damaged, which may allow oil to leak, and this could result in heavier steering.
Case Number:
RJ-2074-0
Make/model:
Issued:
Tue, 2008-03-25
Component:
(1) brake and horn (air pipes), (2) power steering unit (power steering pipes)
Affected:
356
Correction:
The space between the pipes and the under floor support beam should be checked, and if it is not sufficient, the pipe brackets should be replaced with the factory approved replacement units. Also, if there are damaged pipes, they should be replaced with new ones.
