2021–2023 Thomas Built Buses Saf-t-liner C2 Jouley: Electrical System recall
NHTSA campaign 22V418000 · 185 units potentially affected · filed Jun 13, 2022
What's wrong
Daimler Trucks North America, LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2021-2023 FCCC Saf-T-Liner C2 Jouley Electric Buses. A high voltage battery cable may not be properly connected, which can cause a loss of electrical power or a ground short circuit.
Why it matters
Unexpected engine shut down can increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, a disabled school bus may require an evacuation procedure in an uncontrolled traffic situation, increasing the risk of injury to passengers. A ground short circuit can increase the risk of a fire.
The fix
All vehicles have been remedied, therefore no owner notification letters are necessary. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712. DTNA's number for this recall is FL939.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
