Daimler is recalling certain model year 1995 through 2000 Transit buses manufactured between January 1996 and December 2000. These buses have a fitting in the engine compartment that is connected to the hydraulic pump for wheelchair ramp operation. The fitting can crack, causing hydraulic fluid to leak into the engine compartment where it can be ignited by the hot turbocharger and cause an engine fire.
Bus owners will receive instructions on how to repair the buses free of charge. The recall began on December 3, 2010. Affected consumers should contact Daimler Buses at 1-800-716-7566.
