Service brakes, air: slack adjusters

What is wrong
Vehicle description: school and transit buses equipped with a combination spicer j230 rear axle, spring suspension, and crewson brunner automatic slack adjusters. The crewson brunner slack adjuster contacts a u-bolt mounting bracket when a combination of the listed components are installed. The combination does not allow for full extension of the slack adjuster when brakes are applied.
Risk
This can cause a potential for reduced braking effort, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Dealers will install modified u-bolt brackets that will provide the needed clearance. Owner notification began march 15, 2001. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact blue bird at 1‑912‑825‑2021.
