Defect
On large touring buses, the fuel pump in the burner head (combustion unit) of the cabin heating combustion heater is improperly designed on some vehicles. Continued use can cause fuel to leak from the fuel pump and, in the worst case, the leaked fuel may ignite from the heat generated by the heater.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the fuel pump with a corrected part.
