Orion VI: Engine
Affects Orion VI · 1997–1999 — about 95 vehicles.
The hazard
On certain buses equipped with Cummins Electronic Control Modules (ECM) on the L10G engines, the ECM does not have the ability to detect a throttle fail-safe engine shutdown command. This could result in an unanticipated, uncommanded open throttle condition without warning. If this occurs, the vehicle operator will not have control of the engine speed, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash. Correction: Cummins will replace the ECM.
