Issue

On certain school buses, the engine software may not react properly to certain aftertreatment device fault codes. The software may unnecessarily shutdown or may fail to shutdown a vehicle with an aftertreatment device over-temp fault. Unexpected shutdown of a vehicle may not allow the driver to completely exit the roadway, increasing the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Overheating of the aftertreatment device without engine shut down may result in a fire. Correction: Dealers will update the vehicle engine software.
