Recall 14V590000 · manufacturer campaign FL-666

Exterior Lighting — Thomas Built Buses · reported 23 Sep 2014 · 4 vehicles potentially affected

What's wrong

Daimler Trucks North America LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain model year 2015 Minotour school buses manufactured August 1, 2013, to June 4, 2014. In the affected vehicles, if the hazard and brake lights are used simultaneously, the circuit may be overloaded and cause the fuse to blow.

The risk

If the fuse blows, the hazard lights and brake lights will cease to function, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix

DTNA has notified owners, and dealers have replaced the fuses with fuses of a higher amperage, free of charge. The recall began in November 2014. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-745-8000. DTNA's number for this recall is FL-666.

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
