The problem

On certain transit buses equipped with cummins isb-02 diesel engines built with emc controlled fuel lift pumps.

The risk

Should the engine stall, a vehicle crash could occur.

The fix

Cummins, in conjunction with gillig, will notify owners and repair the engines by emc recalibration and replacement of the fuel lift pump at no charge to the customer. Owners may contact cummins assistance center at 1-800-diesels or gillig at 1-510-785-1500.
