Defect description

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: TRANSIT AND SHUTTLE BUSES EQUIPPED WITH CUMMINS ISC AND ISL DIESEL ENGINES. THE INTERNAL FRONT BUSHING CAN SPIN, CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE AIR COMPRESSOR, AND POSSIBLY TO THE SPINDLE DRIVE AT THE REAR FACE OF THE AIR COMPRESSOR WHICH IS USED TO PROVIDE POWER TO THE VEHICLE HYDRAULIC PUMP.
