What is wrong
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: STRIPPED CHASSIS AND COMMERCIAL BUSES AND SCHOOL BUSES EQUIPPED WITH HYDRAULIC BRAKES AND AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS. THE MISALIGNMENT OF THE BRAKE PEDAL CAN CAUSE DELAYED BRAKE LIGHT ACTIVATION DURING LIGHT BRAKING APPLICATIONS.
What can happen
IF THE BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT ACTIVATE PROPERLY, OTHER DRIVERS WOULD NOT BE AWARE OF THE BRAKE APPLICATION, WHICH COULD LEAD TO A CRASH.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALERS WILL INSTALL A NEW BRAKE PEDAL. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN FEBRUARY 19, 2001. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT INTERNATIONAL AT 1-800-448-7825.

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.
