Plain-English summary

Eldorado National-California, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2007-2014 Axess, 2008-2014 E-Z Rider II, and 2008-2012 XHF transit buses. These vehicles are equipped with certain Cummins Westport Model ISL G or ISX12 G engines. The recall involves 561 vehicles.

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 notify owners. Authorized Cummins service facilities will upload a new ECM calibration free of charge. The recall began on April 12, 2014. Owners may contact Eldorado National-California, Inc. at 1-909-591-9557 or Cummins at 1-800-343-7357.
