What is wrong
THE NYLON HOSE THAT CONNECTS THE QUICK RELEASE VALVE AND THE ANCHOR COUPLING AT THE REAR OF THE FRONT AXLE WAS FOUND TO BE EXCESSIVELY LONG. WHEN THE BUS EXECUTES EXTREME RIGHT AND LEFT TURNS, THE CURBSIDE NYLON BRAKE HOSE INTERFERES WITH THE TIRE. THIS INTERMITTENT INTERFERENCE WILL CAUSE THE NYLON HOSE TO CHAFE AND ULTIMATELY FAIL.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALER WILL INSPECT THE NYLON HOSE FOR CHAFING OR INTERFERENCE AND, IF NECESSARY, REROUTE THE BRAKE HOSE. THIS WILL BE DONE AT NO COST TO OWNER.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
