What’s wrong with it?
If the sampling hose leaks oil in the presence of hot engine engine exhaust components, there is an increased risk of fire.
Gillig, LLC (Gillig) is recalling certain model year 2007-2014 Lowfloor transit buses manufactured September 26, 2007, through January 24, 2014.
In the affected vehicles, the engine oil sampling hose may leak oil due to being routed too closely to hot engine exhaust components.
