The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Plain-English summary
NABI Bus, LLC is recalling certain 2013-2014 LFW and BRT city transit buses manufactured between January 1, 2013, and February 20, 2014. These vehicles are equipped with certain Cummins Westport Model ISL G engines. The recall affects 269 units.
The defect involves condensation in the intake manifold that may freeze during cold weather conditions. This freezing can interfere with the proper operation of the intake manifold pressure sensor. Improper sensor operation could induce elevated exhaust temperatures or flames from the exhaust pipe, increasing the risk of a vehicle fire or burn injury to a person near the exhaust pipe.
Cummins Inc. and Cummins Wesport Inc. will work with NABI to notify owners. Dealers will upload a new ECM calibration free of charge to correct the issue. The recall began on April 21, 2014. Customers can contact NABI at 1-256-831-4926 or Cummins Inc. at 1-800-343-7357. NABI's recall number for this campaign is 20141.
