What is wrong
Certain 2004 and 2005 freightliner van, motor home, shuttle bus, and school bus chassis manufactured between january 2004 and may 2005.

The risk
Should the engine stall, a vehicle crash could occur.
The fix
Cummins will notify the owners of the freightliner and thomas built vehicles and will repair the engines by emc recalibration and replacement of the fuel lift pump at no charge to the customer. Owners may contact cummins assistance center 1-800-diesels (1-[removed]) or freightliner at 1-[removed].
