What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Proterra Operating Company, Inc. (Proterra) is recalling certain 2022 ZX5 transit buses. The interlock override switch was not installed during production.

The risk

Without the switch, the driver may be unable to override the interlock system and move the bus, necessitating the transfer of passengers to another bus and increasing the risk of injury.

The remedy

Proterra will provide installation instructions and an interlock override switch, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 9, 2023. 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.nhtsa.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.
