What NHTSA recorded
On certain buses equipped with detroit diesel series 50g engines, higher than expected temperatures will allow the low pressure natural gas regulator gasket to leak coolant and drip onto the terminals of the battery charging alternator.
Possible consequence
This can result in a short in the electrical circuit and the potential for an engine compartment fire.
Remedy
Detroit diesel is conducting the recall (please see 06e028000) and will repair the engines by replacing the low pressure regulator gasket free of charge. Owners may contact detroit diesel at 1-313-592-3708 or orion bus at 905-403-7832.
