Engine and engine cooling

What is wrong
On certain transit buses built on workhorse chassis and equipped with gm 8.1l v8 engines, improper hardening during the heat treatment process can cause the fuel rail pulse damper retainer clip to fracture, resulting in inadequate retention of the damper. If the damper becomes loose, fuel could be pumped by the fuel pump into the under hood area.
Risk
In the presence of an ignition source, a fire could result.
Remedy
Chevrolet and workhorse are handling the owner notification and remedy for this campaign (please see 06v225 and 06v289).
