Owner Narrative
School Bus- Engine exhaust pipe from the exhaust manifold has melted from excessive heat in the system creating large hole for fumes and potential fire to escape. Exhaust is inadequate for the heat levels from the engine or engine performance is misprogrammed to create excessive heat/fuel. Widespread issue with many school buses in our fleet with the same powertrain.
