On certain vehicles, the steering shaft pinch bolt interferes with the convoluted rubber boot that protects it. Over time, a hole may wear into the boot and catch the bolt. If the bolt catches on the hole, the boot may restrict the movement of the steering wheel, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash without warning, which could result in property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealer will affect repairs.
On certain vehicles, the accelerator rod can become bent when pedal forces exceed normal expected driver inputs, such as may occur when the pedal is at maximum travel and the vehicle encounters a large bump. In some cases, the pedal can interfere with the vehicle floor and become lodged in the full throttle position resulting in unexpected acceleration and/or extended stopping distance. This could cause the vehicle to have a collision, possibly resulting in property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: For RE buses, dealer will retrofit vehicles with a new pedal rod and bracket with incorporated pedal rod stop. For Strip Chassis, dealer will install an adjustable pedal rod stop on the floor.
On certain vehicles, the TRW Model 410M ECU (Electronic Control Unit) can misinterpret particular false wheel speed signals generated from any of the following conditions: An incorrect gap between the sensor and tone ring, a chaffed sensor wire, connector corrosion, sensor vibration or quality of harness and pin-outs. If one of these conditions occurs, the ECU could not distinguish between an actual low friction event on road surface and a low amplitude sensor signal and would activate the ABS brakes, instead of deactivating the ABS in response to a false signal. The driver would experience a hard brake pedal during the middle to end of a braking event and a decrease in deceleration at the end of the stop. The driver may experience an unexpected extended stopping distance, which could result in a collision. The ABS warning indicator light may not come on to warn the driver of a system malfunction. Correction: Dealer will affect repairs. Note: recall superseded by 2004171 and 2004172.

On certain Buses the fitting that connects the double check valve to the rear axle air brake relay valve may break. If the fitting breaks the rear service brakes will cease to operate, resulting in an extended stopping distance, possibly resulting in a collision. Correction: Dealers will install a kit to correct the problem.
