The problem
ON CERTAIN TRANSIT BUSES WITH CUMMINS ISB02 ENGINES, THE HYDRAULIC LINE COMING OFF OF THE POWER STEERING PUMP IS RUBBING ON TOP OF THE AIR GOVERNOR.
Risk
THIS RUBBING MAY CAUSE THE HYDRAULIC LINE TO BE RUBBED THROUGH RESULTING IN A LEAK AND A LOSS OF HYDRAULIC FLUID. THIS FLUID COULD IGNITE IF IT COMES IN CONTACT WITH A HOT SOURCE.
What owners should do
DEALERS WILL MAIL A MODIFICATION KIT WITH INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO INSTALL A BRACKET AND CLAMP THAT WILL LIFT AND SECURE THE LINES AWAY FROM THE AIR GOVERNOR ELIMINATING THE POSSIBILITY OF CHAFFING. THE RECALL BEGAN ON MAY 20, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT OPTIMA AT 1-888-391-1777.
