What's wrong?
The front crossover fuel line on 2024-2025 Coach And Equipment Phoenix buses is part of the propane conversion system. It carries fuel across the front of the engine area so the engine can receive propane safely. The alternator sits nearby and generates electrical power for the bus while the engine is running.
On affected buses, the aftermarket air conditioning compressor bracket repositions the original alternator. That new alternator position leaves too little clearance at the front crossover fuel line. During operation, the alternator can contact or rub the line and damage it, which creates a fuel leak and fire risk.
Owners or maintenance staff should treat any fuel leak, fuel smell, visible fuel near the front crossover line, or signs of fire as a warning sign. Coach And Equipment reported no customer complaints before identifying the clearance issue during an installation.
Who's affected?

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Coach And Equipment technician inspects the alternator clearance on the Phoenix transit bus, focusing on the area near the propane conversion kit and aftermarket compressor. If the alternator is too close to the fuel line, the technician installs the additional brackets called for by the recall instructions. The inspection, brackets, and installation labor are free under recall 25V895. Parts kits and installation instructions are being provided for the involved customers.
