Tap a recall to see the problem, the risk and the fix.
Engine and engine cooling:engine:diesel
Problem: North american bus industries (nabi) is recalling 15 my 2007-2008 blue-bird l4re and c4re transit buses equipped with c7 or c9 caterpillar diesel engines. The fuel pump outlet check plug may be cracked which could cause fuel to spray and leak.
Risk: Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.
Fix: Nabi is working with caterpillar (please see 08e042). Caterpillar will replace the fuel pump plug free of charge. Owners may contact caterpillar at 1-800-447-4986, or nabi at 1-888-391-1777.
Electrical system: instrument cluster/panel
Problem: Nabi is recalling 239 my 2002-2007 blue bird c4re and l4re transit buses equipped with a 'prx1' module. The prx1 module is a device which transmits an electric signal to the instrument cluster, which is converted into an air system pressure reading on the dash mounted guage. On certain modules, tis reading is inaccurate causing the displayed pressure to be outside the tolerance of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 121, 'air brake systems.'
Risk: If the air brake system develops a leak, the bvehicle operator may not be aware due to the inaccurate dash reading. If a leak occurs, the safety/'emergency brakes could set without adequate warning, applying the brakes partially, which could result in loss of vehicle control, possibly causing a crash.
Fix: Nabi will provide instructions to vehicle owners/end-users to add a specific wire to the module, correcting the problem. The recall began on august 5, 2008. Owners may contact nabi at
Engine and engine cooling:engine:diesel
Problem: On a certain transit buses equipped with a caterpillar c7 or c9 engine, a fuel pump failure will dilute the engine oil with fuel and may cause the turbocharger to fail and cause loss of throttle control with warning.
Risk: The warning may be experienced by erratic performance and excessive smoke both of which may result in a situation where a vehicle crash could occur.
Fix: The one vehicle involved has been corrected.
