Defect
On large low-floor transit buses, the reinforcement plate on the front right-side air spring bracket has an incorrect shape, with some plates lacking the required cutout. As a result, the torque rod may contact the reinforcement plate, and in the worst case, the torque rod may sustain damage and fracture.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the shape of the reinforcement plate and, where the cutout is absent, machine the cutout into the plate. Any torque rod showing evidence of contact damage will be replaced with a new part.
