    Fuel System, Other / Delivery / Fuel Pump

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    On certain transit vehicles and trolleys equipped with cummins isb-02 diesel engines built with emc controlled fuel lift pumps. Erratic voltage supply to the fuel lift pump causes premature electric brush wear internal to the fuel lift pump. This premature wear could result in fuel lift pump failure and in some cases may cause an engine stall condition.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    Should the engine stall, a vehicle crash could occur.
