NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V750
Manufacturer Proterra
Components SERVICE BRAKES, AIR
Potential Number of Units Affected 66
Breakage of the guide pin can cause loss of braking ability or loss of tire pressure, increasing the risk of a crash.
Summary
Proterra is recalling certain 2016-2017 Proterra Catalyst 40 transit buses equipped with axles with radial air disk brakes. Surface roughness of a guide pin in the radial brake calipers may cause the brake carriage guide pin support bolt to break.
Remedy
Proterra will notify owners and have them replace the calipers on the affected axles, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin October 23, 2018. Owners may contact Proterra customer service at 1-864-438-0000.
Notes
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.safercar.gov.
