Issued by Proterra Inc. · Reported Jan 16, 2019 · 184 vehicles affected
What's wrong
Proterra, Inc is recalling certain 2015-2018 Catalyst 40, and Catalyst 35 buses. The certification label may list an incorrect gross front axle weight rating and/or incorrect tire pressures. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."
Consequence
If the tire pressure is understated, an underinflated tire may result in an increased risk of tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Proterra will notify owners, and dealers will replace the certification labels with correct information for all affected customers, free of charge. The recall began March 12, 2019. Owners may contact Proterra customer service at 1-864-438-0000.
