Defect
On large-capacity route buses, foreign matter contaminating the brake fluid may cause brake fluid to leak from the brake booster. Continued operation allows the leak to cause the rubber components in the Hill Start Aid (HSA) system control valve to swell. In the worst case, the brake may become impossible to release.
Corrective action
As an interim measure, inspect the brake booster and HSA valve on all vehicles. Where brake fluid leakage is found, replace the affected components with new parts and flush the air lines.

状況
大型路線バスの制動装置において、ブレーキ液に混入した異物により、倍力装置からブレーキ液が漏れることがある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けると、坂道発進補助装置（ＨＳＡ：ヒル・スタート・エイド）の制御バルブのゴム部品が膨潤して、最悪の場合、ブレーキが解除できなくなるおそれがある。
改善措置
暫定措置として、全車両、倍力装置とＨＳＡバルブを点検し、ブレーキ液が漏れているものは該当部品を新品と交換するとともに、エア配管を洗浄する。
