Thomas Built Saf-T-Liner C2 School Bus, Saf-T-Liner C2 Non-School Bus: Other

Affects Thomas Built Saf-T-Liner C2 School Bus, Saf-T-Liner C2 Non-School Bus · 2005–2009 — about 218 vehicles.

The hazard

On certain buses, contacts in the pressure switch for the low current brake lamp signal to the chassis Electronic Control Unit (ECU) may become contaminated by the presence of silicone used during assembly. Over time insulating deposits may build up on the contacts and affect the operation of the brake lamp signal to the chassis ECU, thereby preventing brake lamp illumination. Failure to clearly indicate intentions to following motorists could result in a vehicle crash causing injuries or death. Correction: Dealers will replace the pressure switch "A" module in the Air Management Unit (AMU).
