Engine

Issue Description

On certain buses, the instrument panel may fail to display the "Check Engine" or "Stop Engine" indicator lamps. As a result, the engine may enter de-rate or shutdown mode without giving the operator prior indication of a problem, or the chance to use the "Stop Engine Override" function to move the vehicle to a safe location. Engine shutdown would result in lost vehicle propulsion which, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Factory service representatives will visit customer locations and update the instrument panel programming.

Engine

Issue Description

On certain buses equipped with a Cummins engine, the V-band clamps used to connect the inlet and outlet cone sections to the Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) / Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) include a T-bolt which can fracture and fail when subjected to stress or load. A fracture or failure of the T-bolt may cause the clamp to loosen and the inlet or outlet sections attached to the DOC/DPF housing to disconnect. Should this occur, hot exhaust gases can vent prior to exiting the tailpipe, creating a risk of combustion or damage to adjacent materials, which could result in a vehicle fire. If both clamps fail, the DOC/DPF housing could detach completely, separate from the vehicle, and strike another vehicle, stationary object, or bystander. These issues could result in property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Cummins will install updated V-band clamps.
