IC Bus Ce School Bus: Brakes

Affects IC Bus Ce School Bus · 2019–2020 — about 38 vehicles.

The hazard

On certain school buses, the brake pressure switch was made using an incorrect material that could swell when exposed to brake fluid. This could result in the switch becoming stuck in the on position and cause the brake warning light to illuminate. While the brake system would continue to function normally, an operator may be required to stop the vehicle and transfer occupants to another bus. This could create a hazardous situation with students near the roadway for an indeterminate amount of time, and expose them to an increased risk of injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect the lot code on the brake pressure switch and replace as necessary. Note: This problem would set fault code 33-520941-5.
