SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE

Issued by Daimler Trucks North America LLC · Reported Feb 27, 2019 · 259 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Daimler Trucks North America LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2019-2020 Thomas Built Saf-T-Liner C2 school buses. The affected school buses may have been built without Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) modules. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 121, "Air Brake Systems."

Consequence

The operator may not be aware of the absence of ABS function. Unknowingly operating the vehicle without ABS function may increase risk of a crash.

Remedy

DTNA will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the buses and install any missing ABS modules, free of charge. The recall began June 26, 2019. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712. The DTNA number for this recall is FL-809.
