The short version
Daimler Buses North America reported a problem with the engine and engine cooling engine. Here is what owners need to know.
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.
If the engine oil comes into contact with hot surfaces, it can increase the risk of a vehicle fire.
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, free of charge.
