## What is wrong

Issue:

On certain buses, the wrong washers may have been installed on the rear leaf spring hangers.  As a result, the leaf spring could detach from the hanger. This could lead to poor handling and a loss of vehicle control.

Safety Risk:

A loss of control could create the risk of a crash.

Corrective Actions:

ARBOC will notify owners by mail and provide you with instructions for how to replace the washers on the rear leaf spring hangers.
