Gillig LOW Floor Recall 26V707: Fuel Hoses May Separate, Causing Leaks, Stalls and Fire Risk
What this recall means
The remote fuel filter hoses on these transit buses may separate from their fitting. This can cause a diesel fuel leak and the engine may stall.
A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source raises the risk of a fire, and an engine stall increases the risk of a crash.
The fuel hoses will be replaced free of charge by Cummins. Owners can contact Cummins customer service at 1-800-286-6467 or Gillig customer service at 1-800-735-1500 to arrange the remedy. You can also check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls.
