- Campaign:
- 05V468000 on 10/11/2005
- Component:
- Parking brake
- Manufactured:
- 05/31/2004 - 03/30/2005
- Affected:
- 3,850
- Defect:
- Certain 2004 and 2005 thomas built c2 school buses and freightliner business class m2 heavy trucks manufactured between june 2004 and march 2005. the anchor/pivot bolt supplied with the park brake is defective and could fatigue fracture prematurely, resulting in the park brake failing to apply.
- Consequence:
- If the park brake anchor bolt fatigues and ultimately fractures, the park brake may not function and there may be no indication to the driver of the malfunction when the park brake is set. this may cause the vehicle to roll away without warning, which could result in a crash.
