What is wrong
ON CERTAIN SCHOOL BUSES, AN INCORRECT BRAKE PEDAL WAS INSTALLED, LEADING TO MISALIGNMENT. MISALIGNMENT, IN CONJUNCTION WITH A FORCE ACTUATED BRAKE SWITCH, CAN CAUSE DELAYED BRAKE LIGHT ACTIVATION DURING LIGHT BRAKING APPLICATIONS. IN SOME LIGHT BRAKING SITUATIONS, THE VEHICLE CAN COME TO A COMPLETE STOP WITHOUT ACTIVATION OF THE BRAKE LIGHTS.
What can happen
IF THE BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT ACTIVATE PROPERLY UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS, IT COULD LEAD TO A CRASH.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
INTERNATIONAL WILL NOTIFY ITS CUSTOMERS AND REPLACE THE INCORRECT BRAKE PEDAL WITH THE CORRECT VERSION FREE OF CHARGE. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN MAY 21, 2004.

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.
