Problem: On certain low floor buses equipped with bendix puraguard dl discharge line oil coalescing air filter, the oil collected in the filter can be exposed to temperatures in the discharge line of the air compressor that exceed the ignition point of the oil.

Risk: These conditions can promote the risk of a fire in the filter, possibly resulting in serious injury.

Fix: Dealers will remove and replace the puraguard dl unit with a new air compressor discharge line. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact blue bird at 478-822-2242.
