Issue

On large route buses equipped with EZGO/CB (a stop-assist system that activates when the center door is opened), the electrical circuit of the EZGO brake valve is incorrectly configured. When the center door is opened just before the vehicle comes to a stop, the front and rear brakes engage at a timing that differs from the designed sequence. This causes greater deceleration than intended and, in the worst case, may cause standing passengers to fall.

Corrective action

On all affected vehicles, correct the EZGO brake valve electrical circuit to the specified configuration.
