2017 Thomas Built Buses Saf-T-Liner C2 recall: fuel system
⚠️ What's wrong
Daimler Trucks North America, LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain model year 2017 Thomas Built Buses Saf-T-Liner C2 school buses manufactured April 30, 2016, to July 29, 2016 and equipped with a compressed natural gas (CNG) engine. During a fast fuel fill, an internal seal on a filling valve may dislodge allowing fuel to leak after the tank has been filled.
💥 The risk
A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source may increase the risk of a fire.
🔧 The fix
DTNA has notified all affected owners and all of the vehicles have been remedied, therefore owner notification notices will not be issued for this campaign. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712. DTNA's number for this recall is FL-720.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
