|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | June 3, 2005 |

| Production period | March 13, 2000 — April 23, 2004 |

Defect
On large buses equipped with mixer-type CNG engines, the accelerator cable is routed improperly, leaving insufficient clearance between the cable and the oil pressure hose or power steering hose. Continued operation allows vibration during driving to damage the oil pressure hose or power steering hose. In the worst case, the oil pressure gauge may become inoperative, or power steering fluid may leak, causing steering effort to become excessively high.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, a securing bracket is added to the accelerator cable and its routing is revised. The oil pressure hose is also replaced with a corrected part.
