Motiv Power Systems is recalling three 2020 F-59 school buses equipped with the Motiv Gen 5 EPIC powertrain. A support bracket within the vehicle can fatigue and break, which may cause the main power disconnect to touch other parts and create an electrical short. To fix this, Motiv field support technicians will replace the bracket for free.
An electrical short can cause the high-voltage system to shut down suddenly, leading to a complete loss of drive power while the bus is in motion. This increases the risk of a crash, though no incidents or injuries have been reported.
Free bracket replacement by field technicians
