Defect
On large hybrid route buses, an error in the hybrid control program governing engine startup causes fuel delivery to lag behind the supply pump's rotational speed, resulting in insufficient lubrication between the pump's rollers and shoes. Continued use in this condition causes the rollers and shoes to seize, damaging the supply pump and rendering the vehicle inoperable.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the hybrid ECU and supply pump with corrected parts.
