What’s wrong with it?

IN THE EVENT OF A HOSE LINE SEPARATION, THE FUEL SYSTEM IS DESIGNED TO PREVENT PROPANE LEAKAGE USING VARIOUS SAFETY MECHANISMS TO CUTOFF FUEL SUPPLY TO THE ENGINE. THE CUTOFF OF FUEL MAY RESULT IN ENGINE STALL, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

CLEANFUEL IS RECALLING THE FOLLOWING CHASSIS AND FUEL RAIL HOSES AND CONNECTORS MANUFACTURED FROM NOVEMBER 27, 2007, THROUGH AUGUST 19, 2011: PART NO 17090000 (CHASSIS SUPPLY HOSE), PART NO 17090100 (CHASSIS RETURN HOSE), AND PART NO.

A17090200 (ENGINE KIT THAT INCLUDES FUEL RAIL HOSES).

THE SUBJECT HOSES AND CONNECTORS WERE COMPONENTS OF CERTAIN CLEAN FUEL 8.1 LITER PROPANE FUEL SYSTEMS AND WERE SUPPLIED EXCLUSIVELY TO BLUE BIRD CORPORATION FOR INSTALLATION ON VISION MODEL TYPE C SCHOOL BUSES BUILT WITH THE 8.1 LITER PROPANE FUEL SYSTEM.

THE HOSE LINE CAN SEPARATE FROM THE FITTING END LOCATED ON THE CHASSIS SUPPLY/RETURN HOSES AND ON THE INJECTOR/RETURN HOSES.

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
  • Which ones, by part or lot: the recall’s report on NHTSA’s site gives them where the maker did; this file gives part numbers only where its maker listed them.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
