The short version

Motor Coach Industries reported a problem with the service brakes. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

The routing and clamping of the steering axle brake hose to the steering axle brake chamber may allow the brake hose to rub the front tire or contact and rub the upper control arm.

WHY IT MATTERS

The rubbing may wear a hole into the brake hose resulting in a loss of air pressure in the front brake chamber, reducing brake performance and increasing the risk of a crash.
