Defect
On large tourist buses, the combustion heater used for cabin heating has an improperly designed coolant inlet/outlet pipe shape, and the hose clamp fitted to that pipe is incorrectly specified. When the heater is operating under high coolant pressure, the hose may separate from the pipe. This causes a rapid coolant leak and may render the vehicle inoperable.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the hose clamp with the corrected part.
