Approximately 54 Gillig 2023 Low Floor buses are being recalled because they are equipped with Cummins L9 diesel engines that may have improperly crimped fuel filter hoses. The insufficient crimping can cause the hoses to disconnect, leading to a fuel leak and a decrease in fuel supply to the engine. Cummins will replace the affected remote fuel filter hoses free of charge to resolve this safety defect.
A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source significantly increases the risk of a fire. Additionally, if the fuel supply is interrupted, the engine may stall while the bus is in motion, which increases the risk of a crash.
Cummins will replace the remote fuel filter hoses.
