The defect
Coach and Equipment Mfg, Corp. (Coach and Equipment) is recalling certain 2016-2023 Phoenix transit buses equipped with Roush fuel return lines included in GEN 4 and GEN 5 LPG Conversion Systems that were installed on vehicles sold or registered in Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Washington D.C., West Virginia, and Wisconsin. The zinc-plating on the fuel return line may break away when contacted by road debris, causing two dissimilar metals on the fuel line to contact each other and corrode.
The risk
A corroded fuel line can leak fuel, increasing the risk of a fire.
The remedy
Dealers will replace the fuel return lines, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 19, 2022. Owners may contact Coach and Equipment customer service at 1-800-724-8464.
