The short version

NOVA BUS INCORPORATED reported a problem with the antilock/traction control/electronic limited slip wheel speed sensor/tone ring. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

THE ATC SYSTEM MAY INADVERTENTLY ACTIVATE WHENEVER THE PARKING BRAKE OR THE BRAKE INTERLOCK IS APPLIED, SINCE THE VEHICLE'S MULTIPLEX PROGRAM DID NOT CORRECTLY SEND THE PARKING BRAKE OR INTERLOCK SIGNAL TO THE ATC SYSTEM. THE ATC SYSTEM COULD MISINTERPRET THIS SITUATION AS WHEEL SPIN, SUBSEQUENTLY APPLYING AND RELEASING THE APPLIED BRAKES.

WHY IT MATTERS

THE VEHICLE MAY MOVE INADVERTENTLY EVEN WHEN THE PARKING BRAKE IS APPLIED INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

WHAT TO DO

DEALERS WILL REPROGRAM THE SYSTEM AND THE ENGINE'S ECU FREE OF CHARGE.
