NOTE: SCHOOL BUSES EQUIPPED WITH BENDIX C-300N STEERING GEAR. DURING LOW SPEED MANEUVERS, A SEAL IN THE STEERING GEAR ASSEMBLY MAY LEAK, RESULTING IN A REDUCED LEVEL OF POWER ASSIST OUTPUT. IN ADDITION, SOME OF THESE VEHICLES MAY BE SUSCEPTIBLE TO FRACTURES OF A SNAP RING IN THE STEERING GEAR, WHICH COULD RESULT IN PROGRESSIVE REDUCTIONS IN RIGHT TURN MAXIMUM WHEEL TRAVEL. CORRECTION: VEHICLES WILL BE INSPECTED AND STEERING GEAR WILL BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED AS NECESSARY.
On certain B600 and B700 vehicles, the battery power junction block mounted on the right front fender apron might be susceptible to road splash and corrosion from calcium chloride and sodium chloride. This could result in eventual fracture of the main terminal or other terminals at the junction block causing the loss of vehicle power supply or loss of power to a particular system such as the engine, power steering or hydraulic brake boost. Correction: Dealers will replace the junction block, main power terminal from the starter or starter relay and terminals at the existing block. The hydraulic brake circuit will be modified by bypassing the junction block. New terminals will be made from an alloy material more resistant to salt corrosion.
NOTE: FORD B-SERIES SCHOOL BUS CHASSIS. THE BENDIX C-300N STEERING GEARS ON THESE VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE PREMATURE WEAR LEADING TO INTERMITTENT INCREASED STEERING EFFORTS AND SEIZING OR BINDING IF OPERATION IS CONTINUED. THIS COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND A CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. CORRECTION: POWER STEERING GEAR WILL BE INSPECTED AND REPLACED IF NECESSARY.
