Issue
On large buses, the LCD television monitor mounting bracket has insufficient strength, causing cracks to develop in the bracket due to vehicle vibration. Continued use allows the crack to progress until the bracket fractures, which may cause the LCD television monitor to hang down from its mount.

On all vehicles, replace the complete LCD television monitor mounting bracket assembly with the corrected/revised part.
