2005 Glaval Concorde recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
Glaval bus is recalling 10 my 2005 Concorde transit buses. The hydraulic brake lines may contact the transmission dipstick tube as the engine rocks.
💥 The risk
Continued contact between the brake line and the dipstick tube could abrade the brake line, causing a leak and loss of brake fluid which could lead to reduced brake performance. Reduced braking performance could result in a crash without warning.
