Campaign:
07V265000 on 06/24/2007
Component:
Engine and engine cooling
Affected:
2
Defect:
On certain transit buses built with cummins ism c876 engines, the electronic control module fails to recognize inputs of the vehicle electronic control unit or from a driver actuated dash switch thereby increasing the risk of unintended (or unexpected) elevated exhaust temperatures.
Consequence:
While this condition does not involve a risk of fire in the vehicle itself, it could present a fire hazard in a situation where the vehicle's exhaust is in close proximity to materials or substances that can melt, burn, or explode.
Correction:
Cummins, in conjunction with gillig, will conduct the remedy campaign. the recall began on july 31, 2007. owners can contact cummins at 1-800-343-7357 or gillig at 1-510-785-1500.
