Steering
- What is wrong
- On certain school, transit, and commercial buses equipped with adjustable steering columns, the steering shaft pinch bolt interferes with the rubber boot that protects it. Over time, a hole may wear into the boot and catch the bolt.
- Risk
- If the bolt catches on the hole, the boot may restrict the movement of the steering wheel which could result in a vehicle crash.
- Remedy
- International notify its customers and inspect and, if necessary, repair the steering column. Owner notification began november 19, 2003. Owners should contact international at 1‑800‑448‑7825.
