Known issues on the 1984 B60. Federal records hold no recall and no owner complaint for this model year. That silence puts the emphasis on maintenance, which is where a bus of this kind spends its life. The manual gives overhaul and adjustment procedures for all five engines with the specifications and torque values attached, and it documents the chassis from the front axle and steering through the driveline and brakes to the body wiring, the instruments and the lighting circuits.
