What happened

Blue Bird Body Company is recalling certain 2009-2015 All American rear engine non-school buses manufactured between June 23, 2010, and May 24, 2012, that are equipped with specific Cummins Westport Model ISL G compressed natural gas engines. The issue involves condensation that can freeze in the intake manifold during cold weather and interfere with the intake manifold pressure sensor. If this sensor does not operate properly, it could cause elevated exhaust temperatures or flames to come from the exhaust pipe, which increases the risk of vehicle fire or burn injuries to people near the exhaust pipe.

To remedy this issue, Cummins and Cummins Westport will upload new ECM calibration to affected vehicles at no charge through authorized Cummins service facilities. The recall began on April 12, 2014. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Blue Bird at 1-478-822-2242 or Cummins Inc. at 1-800-343-7357 to arrange service. Blue Bird's recall number is R14XB.
