What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Daimler Trucks North America LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2019 Thomas Built Buses Saf-T-Liner C2 equipped with air disc brakes. The brake caliper mounting bolts may have been insufficiently tightened.

The risk

Loose brake caliper mounting bolts may reduce the brake effectiveness, increasing the risk of crash.

The remedy

DTNA will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and repair the vehicles, free of charge. The recall began June 25, 2019. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712. DTNA's number for this recall is FL-816.

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.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
