DEFECT #1 - STEERING:LINKAGES:TIE ROD ASSEMBLY

Posted on: 2005-03-09
Description
On certain transit buses equipped with arvinmeritor urresko tie rod clamps, heat treatment of clamps created a surface hardness that could lead to a fracture of the clamps.

Consequence
In the event of a crack, the clamps could break off affecting toe-in and alignment.  The tie rod can come loose resulting in steering loss and a crash could occur without prior warning.

Corrective Action
Arvinmeritor is conducting the owner notification and remedy for this campaign.  Owners may contact arvinmeritor at 1-866-668-7221 or eldorado at 1-909-591-9557.

DEFECT #2 - FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP

Posted on: 2005-09-20
Description
On certain transit buses equipped with cummins isb-02 diesel engines built with emc controlled fuel lift pumps.  Erratic voltage supply to the fuel lift pump causes premature electric brush wear internal to the fuel lift pump.  This premature wear could result in fuel lift pump failure and in some cases may cause an engine stall condition.

Consequence
Should the engine stall, a vehicle crash could occur.

Corrective Action
Cummins, in conjunction with eldorado national, will notify owners and repair the engines by emc recalibration and replacement of the fuel lift pump at no charge to the customer.  Owners may contact cummins assistance center at 1-800-diesels or eldorado national at 1-909-591-9557.
