Blue Bird C4RE Transit Bus, L4RE Transit Bus: Brakes

Affects Blue Bird C4RE Transit Bus, L4RE Transit Bus · 2005–2007 — about 38 vehicles.

The hazard

On certain buses, the PRX1 module - which is a device that transmits an electric signal to the instrument cluster, which in turn converts the signal into an air system pressure reading displayed on the dash mounted gauge - may give an inaccurate reading causing the displayed pressure to be outside tolerance. If the air brake system develops a leak, the driver may not be aware of the inaccurate reading and therefore the safety/emergency brakes could apply the brakes partially, which may result in a loss of vehicle control and a crash causing personal injuries or death. Correction: Dealers will affect repairs.
