- The defect
- Daimler Trucks North America, LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2019-2022 FCCC S2G and 2023 Thomas Built Buses Saf-T-Liner C2 vehicles equipped with 8.8L LPG engines. The engine control module (ECM) may set a fault code that results in an unexpected engine shut down.
- What it can cause
- Unexpected engine shut down can increase the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will update the ECM software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 28, 2022. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712. DTNA's number for this recall is FL942.
- 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
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 .

How this campaign compares
At 258 vehicles this is a small campaign: 57% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2019 to 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Thomas Built Buses vehicles have been recalled over the engine and engine cooling 24 times before this, most recently in September 2021 as 21V714000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 13 other recalls published here, the newest being: 24V478000 (structure), 23V670000 (structure), 23V669000 (structure), 23V209000 (electrical system).
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.
