NHTSA recall campaign
19V034000
What was wrong
Defect
Proterra, Inc is recalling certain 2015-2018 Catalyst 40, and Catalyst 35 buses. The certification label may list an incorrect gross front axle weight rating and/or incorrect tire pressures. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."
Risk
If the tire pressure is understated, an underinflated tire may result in an increased risk of tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.
Manufacturer remedy
Proterra will notify owners, and dealers will replace the certification labels with correct information for all affected customers, free of charge. The recall began March 12, 2019. Owners may contact Proterra customer service at 1-864-438-0000.
