Plain-English summary
CleanFuel USA is recalling chassis and fuel rail hoses and connectors manufactured between November 27, 2007, and August 19, 2011. The affected components, including part numbers 17090000, 17090100, and A17090200, were supplied exclusively to Blue Bird Corporation for installation on Vision model Type C school buses equipped with the 8.1 liter propane fuel system.
The recall addresses a defect where the hose line can separate from the fitting end on the chassis supply/return hoses and injector/return hoses. In the event of separation, the fuel system is designed to prevent propane leakage by cutting off fuel supply to the engine. This cutoff may result in an engine stall, which increases the risk of a crash.
CleanFuel is working with Blue Bird to identify and notify owners of vehicles with the affected fuel systems. Repairs will be performed by CleanFuel free of charge. The safety recall began on September 27, 2011. Owners may contact CleanFuel at 1-877-234-1722 for more information.
