Alexander Dennis Enviro: Brake Failure Could Occur
Alexander Dennis is recalling 63 Enviro buses because the right rear brake actuator may contact the axle casing as brake pads wear, potentially causing a bolt to fracture and separate part of the actuator from the main body. This separation could increase the stopping distance of the vehicle. The manufacturer will reposition the clamp band and inspect and replace the clamp bolt if needed.
