For scale, 2,085 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 5 years and 1 month.
Defect
On large buses, incorrect fuel hose assembly instructions led to assembly variation that concentrates stress at the bent section of the hose, causing cracks to form. If the vehicle continues to be used in this condition, the cracks may propagate and perforate the hose, resulting in a fuel leak.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the fuel hose with a corrected part and install it in the correct position.
