Defect
On large touring buses, the nylon tubing that supplies air to the pneumatic cylinders operating the swing doors is improperly assembled. The tubing may pull free, causing an air leak. As a result, the door is no longer held in position and, in the worst case, may open while the vehicle is in motion.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the nylon tubing with new parts and reassemble correctly.
