- The problem
- Vehicle description: small commercial buses. The trans/air air-conditioning compressor belt guard can rub against the brake line.
- The risk
- If the brake line wears through, the vehicle will lose brake pressure without prior warning, affecting the capability to stop the vehicle increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
- The fix
- Dealers will replaced the belt guard with a revised version to provide greater clearance between the brake line and guard and a metal guard will be secured to the brake line.
