CLEANFUEL CHASSIS RETURN HOSE; CLEANFUEL ENGINE KIT
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Cleanfuel USA is recalling certain fuel system hoses and connectors that were installed on Blue Bird Vision model Type C school buses equipped with 8.1 liter propane fuel systems. The affected parts—chassis supply hoses (Part No. 17090000), chassis return hoses (Part No. 17090100), and engine kit fuel rail hoses (Part No. A17090200)—were manufactured between November 27, 2007, and August 19, 2011. These hose lines can separate from their fittings, which may cause the fuel system's safety mechanisms to cut off the propane supply to the engine.
If a hose line separates and the fuel supply cuts off, the engine may stall, which could increase the risk of a crash. Cleanfuel is working with Blue Bird to identify and notify affected vehicle owners. The company will perform repairs free of charge. Owners who believe their vehicle may be affected should contact Cleanfuel at 1-877-234-1722 for more information.
