Dozens of Utah school buses were inspected today,
after a warning about possible break failure.
The
brake manufacturer has alerted school districts across
the country about a sensory wire that could be faulty.
In some cases, it could knock out the anti-lock brake
system.
But districts here aren't taking any chances...
they've inspected all the buses that could have been
effected.
Chris Peters/Salt Lake City School
Dist: WE WOULD NEVER SEND AN UNSAFE
BUS OUT ON THE ROAD.
Steve Woods/ Jordan School
District: IF THERE'S ANY QUESTION,
ANY HESITATATION, ANY CONCERN AT ALL,
WE'RE PULLING THAT BUS OFF LINE.
Nationwide, there have been only 16 buses with
sensory wire problems, but none of them have
resulted in an accident.
There have been no problems
with Utah buses.
