Proterra Operating Company is recalling approximately 300 of its 2017-2019 Catalyst transit buses because a defect in the battery pack enclosure can allow liquid to leak inside and accumulate. This accumulation of fluid within the high-voltage battery system can lead to an electrical short and a vehicle fire. Proterra will update the vehicle software and perform inspections and battery pack replacements as needed, free of charge.
Liquid leaking into and pooling within the battery pack enclosure can cause an internal short circuit, significantly increasing the risk of a fire occurring in the battery compartment.
You have 2 options:
