What is wrong

General coach is recalling certain model year 2005-2006 lo-trans, model year 2007 ez-trans and model year 2009-2010 ic-lc buses built on international 3200im chassis manufactured from july 2003 through february 2010. When the buses are used in a severe duty application, such as buses in heavy transit use, there can be overheating of the brakes.

The fix

General coach is working with international to define the remedy for this campaign. The buses will be retrofitted with an aftermarket transmission retarder that will lower the temperatures of the braking components down into the normal operating range. This service will be performed free of charged. The recall began on may 10, 2010. Owners may contact general coach at 1-800-842-0622.
