Daimler Buses North America (DBNA) is recalling certain model year 2007-2012 Orion VII natural gas-powered transit buses manufactured January 1, 2007, to October 1, 2012. Excessive engine crankcase pressures may cause the 90-degree elbow of the vent tube assembly to detach from the crankcase ventilation breather, possibly allowing engine oil to come into contact with hot surfaces. Remedy: Cummins will notify owners on behalf of DBNA, and dealers will secure the ends of the 90-degree elbow. In addition, the electronic control module (ECM) will be reprogrammed with software that can adjust the engine output under misfire conditions to limit crankcase pressures. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on June 12, 2015. Owners may contact DBNA at 1-905-403-7807 or Cummins Inc. at 1-800-343-7357.
Daimler Buses North America (DBNA) is recalling certain model year 2007-2012 Orion VII transit buses manufactured January 2007 through October 2012 equipped with certain Cummins Westport Model ISL G engines. Condensation in the intake manifold may freeze during cold weather conditions and interfere with the proper operation of the intake manifold pressure sensor.

On certain buses equipped with Sure Power battery equalizers and/or convertors, the equalizer and/or convertor could develop an internal short circuit, resulting in a risk of overheating, smoke and/or fire. This may result in property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Owners will be supplied with replacement parts and instructions on how to affect repairs. Alternatively, the manufacturer may carry out on-site repairs.
On certain 2008-2010 hybrid buses, and 2005-2008 buses converted from lead acid to a Li-Ion Energy Storage System (Li-Ion ESS), particulate debris can accumulate and breach the electrical isolation of the high voltage battery pack. A conductive path can be created if the electrical isolation is breached at both ends of the battery, which could result in the unintended discharge of the battery. This could result in a vehicle fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: BAE Systems Inc. will install a contactor to break currently flow in cases where the electrical isolation is breached at both ends of the battery. Additionally, the system will be modified to disable Li-Ion ESS operation when a breach of the electrical isolation is detected.
On certain transit buses, the dual voltage electrical system equalizer, located in the engine compartment, could fail. This could result in a vehicle fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the equalizer with a version suited for operation within an engine compartment.
On certain buses, the screws attaching the tip-in passenger windows may loosen, allowing the windows to dislodge and fall into the bus. The errant window/frame assembly may impact a passenger, which could cause personal injuries. Correction: Owners will be informed to check that the screws are tightened properly and advised to inspect and maintain them periodically.

On certain buses, the passenger windows may not be bonded properly, which may cause them to detach from the window frame. This could endanger pedestrians, motorists, or occupants of the vehicle, potentially causing personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will affect repairs.
On certain buses, portions of the passenger egress window frame can loosen or bend. This could cause difficulty when opening the window. Should an emergency situation arise, this may hinder evacuation efforts, and increase the risk of personal injury to vehicle occupants. Correction: Dealers will affect repairs. Note: This notice was rescinded upon further evaluation which revealed that the problem does not cause a window emergency exit push out effort to exceed the requirements of CMVSS 217.
On certain vehicles, the routing of the alternator cable may cause the cable to rub against engine components. If not detected during regular maintenance inspections the insulation can rub to a point of exposing the electrified cable which could create an arc that could result in a fire. Correction: A notice will sent to the affected customers to inspect for proper routing, correct the proper routing and replace any components showing signs of wear.
On certain transit buses, the Ultra Compact Module (UCM), which monitors the temperature and pressure across the exhaust Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), can fail, causing an engine stall or the UCM's wiring harness to overheat and possibly ignite. This could result in a vehicle fire causing property damage and/or personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will replace the 5 amp circuit breaker for the UCM with a 2 amp fuse to mitigate a failed UCM from subsequently causing a fire.
On certain buses, the exhaust elbow may have been incorrectly welded during the assembly process. As a result, an exhaust leak could develop, possibly causing heat damage to surrounding components, including wiring for the tail lamps. A loss of tail lamp function will make the vehicle less visible to other road users past daylight hours. Should the vehicle continue to be operated with an exhaust leak, a vehicle fire could result. Correction: Dealers will replace the exhaust elbow.
