NABI Recalls 2014 BRT and LFW Buses Due to Fuel Filter Defect

NABI is recalling 35 model year 2014 BRT and LFW transit buses because a fuel filter defect may cause the engine to stall without warning, increasing crash risk.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (fuel filter separation) that causes the engine to stall without warning, explicitly increasing the risk of a crash.

Plain-English summary

NABI Bus, LLC is recalling certain model year 2014 LFW and BRT transit buses manufactured between May 2, 2014, and August 8, 2014. The recall involves 35 vehicles equipped with Cummins ISB or ISL engines that may have Fleetguard UFF-XT fuel filters (part number FF63009).

The defect involves the fuel filter shell potentially separating from the fuel filter nut plate. This separation can cause the engine to stall without warning. If the engine stalls unexpectedly, there is an increased risk of a crash.

NABI will work with Cummins to notify owners. Cummins service centers will install a new fuel filter free of charge. The recall began in September 2014. Owners may contact NABI customer service at 1-256-831-4296 or Cummins customer service at 1-800-223-4583. NABI's number for this recall is 20144. Owners may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or visit www.safercar.gov.
