The hazard
On certain transit buses, hydraulic lines in the engine compartment may fail. This could introduce high pressure hydraulic fluid spray into the engine compartment, which could ignite, resulting in a vehicle fire. Hydraulic fluid leak may also result in a sudden loss of steering power assist. Loss of power assist function could result in a vehicle crash causing injury or death. Correction: Dealers will replace the hydraulic lines.
