Recall Notes:
Ford campaign no h-8b. Bus chassis. Possibility that the service and parkingbrake system nylon air brake tubes may have been improperly routed duringproduction. If this condition exists, the lines are too close to the exhaustinlet pipe, immediately forward of the number three crossmember, and couldcause them to melt under normal exhaust operating temperatures. Should thisoccur to service brake tubes the result would be loss of air pressure andpartial or total loss of service brake performance. Similiarly melting of theparking brake tubes would result in a loss of air pressure causing the rearbrakes to be applied automatically and unexpectedly. (correct by inspectingand re-route tubes and replace if necessary. )
