NABI Transit Bus Recall for Engine Vent Tube Fire Risk

Plain-English summary

NABI Bus, LLC is recalling certain model year 2007-2015 LFW and BRT transit buses and 2007-2013 CLFW transit buses. The recall involves 1,809 vehicles. The defect is that excessive engine crankcase pressures may cause the 90-degree elbow of the vent tube assembly to detach from the crankcase ventilation breather. This detachment may allow engine oil to come into contact with hot surfaces.

If engine oil comes into contact with a hot surface, there is an increased risk of a fire. No specific injuries or deaths are reported in the source text.

Cummins will work with NABI to notify owners. Dealers will secure the ends of the 90-degree elbow and reprogram the electronic control module (ECM) with software that adjusts engine output under misfire conditions to limit crankcase pressures. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on June 12, 2015. Owners may contact NABI customer service at 1-256-241-1298 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
