"Passengers deplaned via stairs and were bused to the terminal," the FAA said, adding that the agency "will investigate."

The airline said 234 passengers and 11 crew members were aboard.

American Airlines said first responders met the aircraft "out of an abundance of caution" and that passengers were safely transported to the terminal by bus.

The airline said the aircraft has been taken out of service for inspection by its maintenance team and apologized to customers for the experience.

The cause of the reported brake malfunction remains unclear.
