What was wrong

As such, these buses fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 121, "Air Brake Systems."
Risk
The incorrect air pressure readings may increase the risk of a crash by delaying the driver's reaction to addressing the low air condition.
Manufacturer remedy
MCI will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the air lines for proper connection, repairing them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on December 12, 2017. Owners may contact MCI customer service at 1-800-241-29471. MCI's number for this recall is SB 455.
