VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: SCHOOL AND TRANSIT BUSES. THE MOUNTING BOLT FOR THE UPPER FRONT SHOCK ABSORBER BRACKET CAN LOOSEN IN SERVICE DUE TO THE OMISSION OF A FRAME REINFORCEMENT FROM THE UPPER SHOCK ABSORBER MOUNT. THE LOOSENED BOLT COULD THEN WORK IN THE FRAME RAIL-MOUNTING HOLE, WHICH COULD RESULT IN HAIRLINE CRACKING OF THE FRAME RAIL IN THE SHOCK ABSORBER MOUNTING AREA AND POSSIBLE FRACTURE OF THE SHOCK ABSORBER MOUNTING EYE AS WELL.
What the owner should do?
If you read about a recall that you think may affect your car, you should make immediate contact with a dealer or workshop that’s been officially authorised to perform repairs on behalf of the manufacturer and ask for the details.
If you wish to know more about eventual problems of a specific car (e.g. real mileage, potential traffic accidents damages, odometer rollback, repairs, etc.), then we suggest going to HPI-Check.
