Should the engine stall, a vehicle crash could occur.
The fix
Cummins, in conjunction with optima bus, will notify owners and repair the engines by emc recalibration and replacement of the fuel lift pump at no charge to the customer. Owners may contact cummins assistance center at 1-800-diesels or optima bus at 1-316-779-7700.
