What the defect is
Nova bus is recalling 19 my 2003-2006 lfs transit buses built with cummins isl engines which were equipped with CM850 fuel systems. The engine high pressure fuel lines from the engine high pressure pump to the engine fuel rail are prone to failure. Failure typically occurs at or under the fuel line fitting attachments.
What could happen
The introduction of high pressure atomized fuel into the engine compartment creates a risk of fire due to possible ignition when the fuel vapor comes in contact with hot surfaces.
What gets fixed
DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE THE NECESSARY FUEL LINE FITTINGS AND BRACKETS FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING APRIL 2008.

Your rights
A safety recall repair is free. Under US federal law the manufacturer must fix a safety defect at no cost to you — no charge for parts, labor or diagnosis — whether or not you are the original owner. A dealer cannot charge you for recall work, and cannot require you to have bought the vehicle from them.
That entitlement is not unlimited. It applies where the vehicle was first sold less than 15 years before the recall was announced — 5 years for tires. Past that a manufacturer may still do the repair free of charge, and many do, but they are no longer obliged to. This recall was reported on 1 April 2008.
To arrange the repair, contact any franchised dealer for the brand. If a dealer refuses the work or tries to charge for it, you can report that to NHTSA at nhtsa.gov/recalls or on 1-888-327-4236.

Everything on this page — the models listed, the build dates and the repair figures — comes from the manufacturer's filing to NHTSA and describes the vehicle line as a whole, not any individual car. Only the manufacturer can confirm whether a specific vehicle is affected, and whether its recall work has already been carried out. Check yours by VIN and read the official notice at nhtsa.gov/recalls.

Check your own vehicle
This page describes the recall, not any one car. To see which recalls cover a specific vehicle, search by make, model and year.
A VIN lookup here identifies your vehicle and shows recalls issued for that make, model and year. It cannot tell you what is still open on your individual car - only the manufacturer knows that. Search by VIN instead, or check your VIN at nhtsa.gov for whether a recall is still open on your individual car.
