Fuel system

06E04300088,303 vehicles affected

The problem
Certain replacement fuel filters, fram brand name p/n g3727, with date codes x52911 through x60801 sequentially or x600141 and a mexico country or origin marking on the fuel filter housing manufactured from october 18, 2005, through march 21, 2006, sold for use on the vehicles listed above and on certain school buses. (To see the school bus engine sizes, click on "document search" and then "bus applications"). The connector on the fuel filter was not manufactured to honeywell's specification. As a result, the o-ring may not seat correctly on the fuel line.
The risk
This condition may cause an inadequate seal at the connection, potentially leading to a fuel leak. In the presence of an ignition source, a fire could occur.
The fix
Honeywell will notify owners and replace the fuel filters free of charge. The recall began on october 18, 2006. Owners may contact fram customer service at 1-800-890-2075 (option 1).

Certain r&b, inc. Central multiport fuel injection (cmfi) fuel return lines, models help 55163, napa balkamp 700-3270, and the connection 2560001, sold for use as replacement equipment for the vehicles listed above.

Service brakes: hoses, lines / piping, and fittings

91V207000401 vehicles affected

The problem
The link connecting the electronic rear height sensor to the rear axle can disconnect under several conditions, allowing the arm attached to the sensor to lodge between the rear axle assembly and the right rear brake pipe. This abrades the brake pipe and could lead to rear brake failure.
The risk
Abrasion of the brake line could result in loss of rearbrakes. The front brakes would function, but the vehicle would need increasedstopping distances which could result in an accident.
The fix
Install retention clips to insure the lower and upper ball socket cannot be removed from the ball; add a down stop on the sensor arm; and add a shield on the rear axle.
