Defect
On highway express buses, the mounting bracket for the fare display monitor has insufficient strength, causing cracks to develop in the bracket due to vehicle vibration. Continued use allows the crack to propagate until the bracket fractures, causing the fare display monitor to droop and obstruct the driver's field of view.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the complete fare display monitor mounting bracket assembly with a corrected part.
