The short version

Gillig LLC reported a problem with the service brakes, air disc. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

The front left and right brake air hoses that connect to the brake chamber may touch and rub against the air bag suspension towers.

WHY IT MATTERS

If the front brake hoses rub the air bag suspension tower, a hole may develop and the resulting air leak may reduce the brake air pressure, lengthening the distance needed to stop the transit bus and increasing the risk of a crash.

WHAT TO DO

Take it to a dealer — they will replace the brake hoses with shorter ones that will not contact the suspension tower, free of charge.
