Posted on: 2008-02-15
Description
Eldorado national - california (enc) is recalling 106 my 2004-2007 axess, e-z rider ii and transmark re rear engine buses built with cummins isl and isc diesel engines and equipped with the cm850 fuel system. The engine high pressure fuel lines from the engine high pressure pump to the engine fuel rail are prone to failure. The fuel line failures have been determined to be caused by prolonged vibration. Failure typically occurs at or under the fuel line fitting attachments. Failure of the fuel line introduces high pressure atomized diesel fuel into the engine compartment.
Consequence
Fuel into the engine compartment creates a risk of fire due to possible ignition when the fuel vapor comes in contact with hot surfaces.
Corrective Action
Enc will work with cummins to install a support bracket on the high pressure fuel lines free of charge. The recallbegan on march 11, 2008. Owners may contact eldorado national - california at 909-591-9557.
