Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).
The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a fuel system defect that explicitly increases the risk of a fire, which aligns with the rubric criterion for 'significant injury/property-damage reports' or high-risk vehicle defects.
Plain-English summary
Daimler Trucks North America LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Thomas Built Buses Saf-T-Liner C2 school buses. The affected vehicles were manufactured between September 17, 2013, and August 27, 2014. A total of 112 vehicles are included in this recall.
The recall addresses a defect in the fuel system where propane fuel injectors in the fuel rails for 6 and 8-liter engines may not be properly secured by the retainer clip. Additionally, a fuel delivery tube may leak. Either condition may result in a propane leak, which could cause the vehicle to stall. Leaking propane in the presence of an ignition source also increases the risk of a fire.
DTNA will notify owners, and authorized service facilities will verify the proper installation of the injector retainer clip and replace any leaking fuel delivery tubes free of charge. The recall began on November 21, 2014. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
