- Service brakes, air:supply:check valve
- Manufactured:
- 04/30/1971 - 12/31/1972
- Affected:
- 568
- Notes:
- Ford campaign no h-7e.bus chassis.possibility that the double vacuum tanksfor brake booster assemblies may have a vacuum check valve reversedduringinstallation.if this condition exists and is left uncorrected it could resultin reduced braking effectiveness.(correct by inspecting and replace tankswhere necessary.)
- Campaign:
- 73V210000 on 10/11/1979
- Component:
- Service brakes, air:supply:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings

- Campaign:
- 73V053000 on 10/11/1979
- Component:
- Service brakes, air:supply:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings
- Manufactured:
- 06/30/1972 - 01/31/1973
- Affected:
- 785
- 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.)
- Campaign:
- 74V237000 on 10/11/1979
