Proterra Operating Company is recalling 238 of its 2019-2022 40' and 35' Catalyst 800V transit buses and 40' and 35' ZX5 800V transit buses, all equipped with the ProDrive 1.0 system. An internal transistor within the vehicle's inverter can overheat and fail, causing the bus to suddenly lose both drive power and power steering. To address this safety issue, Proterra will have dealers replace the faulty inverters with new ones at no cost to owners.
If the inverter transistor fails, the bus may experience a sudden loss of propulsion and power steering assist. This makes the vehicle much harder to control and increases the risk of a crash, especially in traffic or during turns.
