Bendix recall: Service brakes, air
What is wrong
Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems LLC (Bendix) is recalling certain ADB22X Air Disc Brake Calipers sold for use on school buses. The driver side rear brakes may drag.
What could happen
The dragging brakes may lead to high temperatures at the wheel end, increasing the risk of fire.
The fix
Bendix will notify the school bus manufacturers that purchased the brake calipers. Dealers for those manufacturers will install a new caliper with an updated clearance adjustment mechanism, free of charge. The recall began May 21, 2019. Owners may contact Bendix customer service at 1-877-345-9526.
