Volvo Bus B8r: Too Little Or Missing Clearance From Hydraulic Oil Pressure Hose Towards Frame Member

Volvo is recalling 673 B8R buses because the hydraulic oil pressure hose doesn't have enough clearance from a frame member, which can cause the hose to wear and leak oil. The fix involves adjusting the hose clearance to prevent the chaffing. This recall affects buses distributed in the United Kingdom.
