| Defect Summary : Vehicle description: transit and school buses built with abs air brake ecu and a 100 gallon fuel tank mounted between the rails and behind the rear axle on models with a 276" wheel base. the abs ecu interfered with the cross member mounted behind the rear axle and in front of the between the rails fuel tank. this created a no-build situation at the plant - the plant would either eliminate or relocate the cross member or move the ecu as needed. |
Consequence Summary: If the cross member is either missing or relocated the vehicle may not have adequate fuel tank protection. in the event of a crash, the bus may not have adequate fuel tank protection if the vehicle has a missing or improperly installed crossmember. |
| Corrective Summary : Dealers will inspect the vehicles to make sure all cross members are properly installed. if the cross member is not installed correctly or is missing, the dealer will repair or install the cross member. |
