The hazard
On certain buses, hydraulic brake line routing may cause contact with the transmission dipstick tube as the engine rocks. This could eventually cause a brake fluid leak, which could result in a reduction of braking capability. Increase stopping distances could result in a vehicle crash causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if needed, reroute brake lines.
