ON CERTAIN TRANSIT BUSES CUSTOM BUILT FOR SOUTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA TRANSIT AUTHORITY AND EQUIPPED WITH MAN AXLES, THE CENTER-LINK ASSEMBLIES WERE INCORRECTLY TIGHTENED.
IMPROPER SECURING OF THE CENTER-LINK ROD ENDS COULD CAUSE THE ASSEMBLY TO COME APART, RESULTING IN LOSS OF VEHICLE STEERING CONTROL, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
SOUTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA TRANSIT AUTHORITY WAS NOTIFIED OF THIS RECALL ON JUNE 28, 2005. VEHICLES WILL HAVE THE SUBJECT COMPONENTS REPLACED.
