Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Caterpillar is recalling certain C7 Diesel Engines with 7-liter, 6-cylinder, turbo and air-to-air aftercooled engines rated at 190-300 horsepower that were built between December 14, 2006, and January 6, 2009. These engines were installed as original equipment in certain Blue Bird school buses. The cooling system coolant in these engines can degrade, which may cause engine components to prematurely deteriorate and possibly lead to coolant leaks.
A loss of coolant can result in stranded vehicles, increasing the risk of a crash. According to the recall notice, affected owners should contact Caterpillar at 1-800-447-4986. Caterpillar is working with Blue Bird to identify and notify owners of the recall campaign.
