NHTSA Campaign Id 06V492000; Date: Dec. 22, 2006
The bus may not perform as expected when stopping, increasing the risk of a crash.
Recalled Vehicles:
2004 Orion VII; 2005 Orion VII
Component: Air Brake
Manufactured by: Daimlerchrysler Commercial Buses Nc
Affected Units:: 250
Recall Summary:
On certain buses equipped with a graham white brake air dryer model qba15, the brake air dryer timer does not function properly. The air entering into the brake system may not have the moisture removed. If not properly drained, small ice crystals may form in the brake system preventing the system to operate the brakes properly.
How to Fix:
Daimlerchrysler is working with graham white to develop a remedy. Owners are being asked to inspect the wet brake air tank for moisture by using a manual drain. Only two customers are involved and have been contacted.
Recall Notes:
Customers may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.
