2004–2005 Gillig 29 Foot LOW Floor recall: fuel system

⚠️ What's wrong

On certain transit buses equipped with cummins ISB-02 diesel engines built with emc controlled fuel lift pumps. Erratic voltage supply to the fuel lift pump causes premature electric brush wear internal to the fuel lift pump. This premature wear could result in fuel lift pump failure and in some cases may cause an engine stall condition.

💥 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.

Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
