New Flyer XD40: Brakes
Affects New Flyer XD40 · 2013 — about 17 vehicles.
The hazard
On certain buses, air brake circuits at the treadle valve may have been crossed during assembly. In the event of an air leak in the rear air reservoir, this would result in a loss of both the front and rear service brakes, a reduction of braking performance and increased stopping distances. This could increase the risk of injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Vehicles will be inspected and corrected if necessary.
