2024–2027 Thomas Built Buses Saf-t-liner C2: Fuel System, Diesel recall

What's wrong

Daimler Trucks North America, LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2024-2027 Thomas Built Buses Saf-T-Liner C2 transit buses. The fuel tank cage material and fuel system mounting may be incompatible. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 301, "Fuel System Integrity."

Why it matters

During a crash, an incompatible fuel tank cage and fuel system may result in a fuel leak, increasing the risk of a fire.

The fix

Dealers will reconfigure components to accommodate the existing fuel tank cage, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 22, 2026. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712. DTNA's number for this recall is F1037.
