Defect
On large buses, the assembly instructions for the insertion depth of the molded fuel hose are incorrect. When the insertion depth is excessive, stress concentrates at the bend, causing cracks to develop. Continued use allows the cracks to propagate, and fuel may leak.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the fuel hose with the corrected part and install it at the proper position.
