Nova Bus LFS: Brakes

Affects Nova Bus LFS · 2022 — about 1 vehicles.

The hazard

Issue: On one transit bus, the parking brake air line connections may not have been tightened properly. As a result, the air line could leak and cause the parking brake to apply suddenly while driving without the brake lights turning on. Safety Risk: A parking brake that self-applies while driving without the brake lights turning on could cause a person not to recognize that the vehicle is braking. This could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Nova Bus will notify the owner by mail and provide them with instructions for how to inspect and, if necessary, tighten the parking brake air line connections.
