NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published
The defect
Daimler Coaches North America (Daimler Coaches) is recalling certain 2026 Mercedes Benz Tourrider Business and Premium transit buses. The door control valve may not release the self holding mechanism, preventing the door from opening.
The risk
A door that cannot be opened can prevent or delay passengers from evacuating during an emergency, increasing the risk of injury.
The remedy
Daimler Coaches will replace the door control valve, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 2, 2026. Owners may contact Daimler Coaches' customer service at 1-416-624-3558. Daimler Coaches' number for this recall is 72.40U26365A.
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.
