DT: THE BUS HAD STOPPED AT THE RAILROAD TRACKS, WHICH HAD CHILDREN ON BUS. WHEN THE BUS STARTED TO GO, HE PULLED UP APPROXIMATELY TO LENGTH AND PROCEEDED TO IDLE AS IF ACCELERATOR WAS DISCONNECTED. THE BUS WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR OVER TWO WEEKS. THEY CHANGED OVER PART OF WIRING AND SAID PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED. THE BUS WAS DRIVEN FOR ABOUT 50 MILES WITH NO PROBLEMS. AGAIN THIS OCCURRED AT AN INTERSECTION WITHOUT WARNING. THE ACCELERATOR ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED. TO THIS DATE NO OTHER PROBLEMS. *JB
ON CERTAIN SCHOOL AND TRANSIT BUSES THE STUDS USED TO SECURE THE POWER STEERING PUMP TO THE ENGINE BLOCK CAN FAIL, RESULTING IN ENGINE OIL LEAKAGE AND COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER STEERING. THE POWER STEERING PUMP IS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE POWER ASSIST TO BOTH THE STEERING SYSTEM AND THE HYDRAULIC BRAKING SYSTEM. SHOULD STUD FAILURE CAUSE THE PUMP TO BECOME DISENGAGED FROM ITS DRIVE GEARS, A REDUCTION OF THE FLUID FLOW RATE TO THE BRAKE SYSTEM COULD OCCUR AND POSSIBLY CAUSE AN EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE AS WELL AS INCREASED STEERING WHEEL EFFORTS.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING WILL IMPAIR THE VEHICLE OPERATOR, POSSIBLE RESULTING IN A VEHICLE CRASH.
Remedy: INTERNATIONAL WILL NOTIFY ITS CUSTOMERS AND ALL VEHICLES WILL BE INSPECTED AND ANY SUSPECT STUDS WILL BE REPLACED. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN SEPTEMBER 24,2004. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT INTERNATIONAL AT 1-800-448-7825.
