Certain school buses fail to comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 301 u2013 Fuel System Integrity. Testing showed that the fuel return line could rupture following a vehicle crash, resulting in fuel spillage in excess of the allowable limit defined by the Standard. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will install a protective loom onto the fuel lines.
