ON CERTAIN TRANSIT BUSES BUILT WITH CUMMINS ISL ENGINES, THE EXHAUST ELBOW WAS INCORRECTLY ASSEMBLED AND WELDED DURING PRODUCTION. THE UPPER FLANGE HAS A BUTT TYPE WELD INSTEAD OF A FILLET TYPE WELD.
AN EXHAUST SYSTEM THAT IS NOT MAINTAINED TO ENSURE THAT THERE ARE NO LEAKING SECTIONS CAN CAUSE HEAT DAMAGE TO SURROUNDING COMPONENTS INCREASING THE RISK OF A FIRE.
OWNERS WILL BE REIMBURSED FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE EXHAUST ELBOW. THE RECALL BEGAN DURING SEPTEMBER 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT ORION AT 1-800-716-7466.
