ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
- The defect
- Daimler Trucks North America, LLC. (DTNA) is recalling one 2020 Thomas Built Buses Saf-T-Liner HDX transit bus. The chassis was assembled without the electronic stability control hardware and software. As such, this vehicle fails to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 136, "Electronic Stability Control Systems on Heavy Vehicles."
- What it can cause
- In certain driving situations, a missing electronic stability control system can increase the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- A dealer will install an electronic stability control system, free of charge. The owner notification letter is expected to be mailed January 16, 2022. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712. DTNA's number for this recall is FL909.
- 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.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles

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.
