Daimler Trucks North America, LLC: Electric Transit Buses Recalled for Potential Loss of Drive Power

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Daimler Trucks North America is recalling 26 electric transit buses, specifically the 2024 Thomas Built SAF-T-LINER C2 Jouley and the 2023-2024 FCCC MT50E. The high voltage inverter cable in these vehicles may not be properly secured, which can lead to a sudden loss of drive power while the vehicle is in motion. To address this safety concern, authorized dealers will inspect and tighten the cable fasteners at no cost to owners.

Risk

An unsecured inverter cable can cause the vehicle to lose drive power unexpectedly, making it difficult to maintain speed or navigate traffic. This sudden loss of power increases the risk of a crash and may leave the bus stranded in a dangerous roadway position.

What You Should Do

  1. Check if your vehicle is one of the affected models: a 2024 Thomas Built SAF-T-LINER C2 Jouley or a 2023-2024 FCCC MT50E electric transit bus.
  2. Contact Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) customer service at 1-800-547-0712 to verify if your specific vehicle is part of this recall using the DTNA recall number FL987.
  3. Schedule an appointment with an authorized dealer to have the high voltage inverter cable fasteners inspected and tightened free of charge.
  4. If you have additional questions, contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov.
