What this recall means for you
In certain transit buses, the air brake hose for the front wheel service brakes can contact the tires when the steering is turned fully.

An air leak may make the bus pull to one side when braking or require extra distance to stop, which can increase the risk of a crash.
The repair is free. Authorized dealers will correct the orientation of the front air brake hose fitting and replace any hose showing signs of abrasion, as needed. Owners will be notified by the manufacturer. You can also contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825 and reference recall number 15508.
