The issue
On certain vehicles built on the FCCC FS-65 school bus chassis, a braided ground strap to the starter may rub and wear on a steel chassis brake line potentially causing a fluid leak. A brake fluid leak can reduce braking effectiveness and increase stopping distance. Correction: Dealers will inspect the brake line and replace, if needed. The braided ground strap will be replaced with an insulated cable.
