Seddon Atkinson Strato: Unscheduled Brake Application
Seddon Atkinson is recalling 70 Strato vehicles because air pipes in the braking system are positioned too close to the exhaust pipe, where heat can damage them and cause the brakes to apply unexpectedly. The company will modify the air pipe arrangement to increase clearance from the exhaust system. This recall affects vehicles distributed in the United Kingdom.
