TIRES:VALVE
- The defect
- Daimler Trucks North America, LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2021 Thomas Built C2 Saf-T-Liner School Buses. The tire valve stem extension may be damaged by contact with disc brake caliper.
- What it can cause
- A damaged tire valve stem may cause a loss of tire pressure, increasing the risk of a crash. A disabled bus may require passengers to transfer to a different bus on the side of the road, increasing the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- DTNA will notify owners, and dealers will replace the valve stems, free of charge. This recall is expected to begin on May 22, 2021. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712. DTNA's number for this recall is FL-882.
- NHTSA's note
- 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.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
