Plain-English summary

Coach and Equipment Mfg. Corp. is recalling certain 2016-2023 Phoenix transit buses equipped with Roush fuel return lines included in GEN 4 and GEN 5 LPG Conversion Systems. These vehicles were sold or registered in Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Washington D.C., West Virginia, and Wisconsin.

The zinc-plating on the fuel return line may break away when contacted by road debris. This exposure causes two dissimilar metals on the fuel line to contact each other and corrode. A corroded fuel line can leak fuel, increasing the risk of a fire.

Dealers will replace the fuel return lines free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on December 19, 2022. Owners may contact Coach and Equipment customer service at 1-800-724-8464 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
