What Vision School Bus owners report
Recent service brakes complaints filed with NHTSA, shortened. Personal details are removed.
Durring inspection i observed an exhaust clip making direct contact with a brake line and it had caused some wear to the metal brake line. This vehicle is an active school bus and I found similar failures or evidence of contact on all 3 of my bluebird vision buses equipped with the 7.3 gas V8.
