1997 GMC B7 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 1997 GMC B7 has two recalls, both affecting steering on these school buses, and both can result in complete loss of steering control. One recall involves an intermediate steering shaft where the slip joint does not overlap enough, allowing the shaft to physically separate and leave the driver unable to steer. The other affects buses equipped with the 6.0L gasoline engine and 10,000 lb. front axle, where a power steering fluid supply hose can chafe against nearby components, leak fluid, and eventually cause all power steering assist to fail, making the steering wheel extremely difficult or impossible to turn.
