2001 ORION VII Recalls (2)
- Campaign:
- 05V079000 on 03/08/2005
- Component:
- Fuel system, diesel
- Affected:
- 302
- Defect:
- On certain transit buses, the fuel lift pump could fail in a manner which results in engine fuel starvation, which could result in a stall condition. potential lift pump failure modes include: brush wear out, bushing failure, rotor tab insert failure, or any other failure mode that would cause the fuel pumping element to stop spinning.
- Consequence:
- If the fuel lift pump pumping element stops spinning and the fuel pumping vanes stop in a location which blocks fuel flow through the lift pump, the engine will be starved of fuel. fuel starvation could cause low engine power, engine misfire, or engine stall. prior to the engine stalling, the operator could experience low engine power, engine misfire, and/or dash-mounted fault lamp illumination.

- Campaign:
- 05V282000 on 06/15/2005
- Component:
- Structure:body:door
- Manufactured:
- 09/30/2001 - 05/30/2005
- Affected:
- 1,092
- Defect:
- On certain commercial buses equipped with vapor door assemblies, the two piece curved connecting rods when used as an element of the door actuation linkage in conjunction with a vapor medium pneumatic differential engine, may be subject to fatigue failure resulting in bending or breaking of the connecting rod.
- Consequence:
- A broken connecting rod can allow the door panel to move freely in an uncontrolled manner, leaving passengers inside the vehicle unprotected by the door panel and enabling a protruding door panel to strike persons or objects outside the vehicle.
- Correction:
- Orion is working with vapor bus international to notify owners and have the repair performed on their vehicles. the remedy consists of replacing the two piece connecting rod with a one piece connecting rod. owners may contact orion bus at 905-403-7832 or vapor at 847-777-6400.
