The problem
Daimler Trucks North America, LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2022 Thomas Built Saf-T-Liner C2 school buses. The gas pedal may be misaligned and wear a hole into the floor mat, which can trap the gas pedal.
Risk
A trapped gas pedal will not allow the vehicle to decelerate as expected when the driver lifts their foot from the gas pedal, resulting in unintended acceleration and an increased risk of a crash.
What owners should do
Dealers will inspect and replace the gas pedal assembly as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed February 5, 2022. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712. DTNA's number for this recall is FL913.
