Freightliner FS-65: Brakes
Affects Freightliner FS-65 · 1999–2002 — about 291 vehicles.
The hazard
On certain school buses the brake hoses from the chassis to front brake chambers could develop leaks due to the hose routing that could overstress the hose during sharp turns. The vehicle could have reduced braking capacity, increasing the risk of a crash. Correction: Dealers will inspect for improper routing. If improper routing is found, dealers will replace and correct the hose routing.
