The fuel tubes between the fuel rail and the injectors for cylinders four, five, and six may fatigue and crack, which can result in a high pressure fuel leak.
    on engines with 75 miles or less, cummins dealers will install vibration isolators to the fuel tubes. Engines with more than 75 miles will receive new fuel tubes with vibration isolators. Repairs will be performed free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed march 11, 2022. Owners may contact mci customer service at 1-800-241-2947. Mci's number for this recall is r21-028.

  • Recall 147001 [USA]: If the engine shuts down or loses power while the vehicle is in motion, this may increase the risk of a crash.
    Motor coach industries (mci) is recalling certain 2018-2020 d4000, d4005, d4500, d4505 and d45crtle buses manufactured with electric cooling fans (e-fan) for the radiator and charge air cooler, borg warner 55si model dual alternator configuration (with a sense stud and wire), and parker vansco multiplexing module (vmm) multiplex system. A build-up of debris, corrosion, and/or water flow could cause a high resistance path to ground for the sense stud on the back of the alternator and cause the alternator to produce excessive voltage output, which may exceed the threshold limit currently programmed in the vmm and result in a loss of engine power and vehicle shutdown.
    mci will notify the affected owners, and dealers will install a new application code in the parker vmm multiplex modules increasing the overvoltage threshold limit, free of charge. The recall began july 23, 2020. Owners may contact mci customer service at 1-800-241-2947. Mci's number for this recall is sb 479.
    owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.Safercar.Gov.

  • Recall 2020276 [Canada]: Electrical
    Issue: on certain buses, a build-up of corrosion on the alternator connection could cause it to malfunction. If this happens, the alternator voltage output may increase. As a result, the control module may switch off the engine and cause a vehicle shutdown. Safety risk: a sudden loss of engine power and vehicle shutdown could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective actions: motor coach industries (mci) will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your bus to an authorized repair facility to update the software in the vehicle multiplexing module (vmm). Mci also recommends periodically inspecting, cleaning and re-applying corrosion inhibitor to the alternator.
