Check whether your vehicle is affected and follow the manufacturer’s recall instructions — the repair is free.
If not corrected, the fire suppression systems on certain CNG-powered buses may fail to indicate the presence of a natural gas (methane) leak. In such cases, the driver will not receive a fault code indicating that the Gas Detection electronics have been disabled. This may increase the risk of asphyxiation, fire, or explosion.
The Recall Registry rates this highest risk — Suffocation risk.
