Issue
On certain articulated transit buses equipped with a Hubner turntable and Cummins engine, an engine fault code may cause the articulating dampener control unit to misinterpret the vehicle’s speed. This would result in no dampening in the articulation, which would reduce vehicle stability and increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: The articulating dampener control unit software will be updated to alert the driver in the case of an engine fault and put the vehicle into emergency mode if vehicle speed cannot be interpreted.
