ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- The defect
- Proterra Operating Company, Inc. (Proterra) is recalling certain 2022 ZX5 transit buses. The interlock override switch was not installed during production.
- What it can cause
- Without the switch, the driver may be unable to override the interlock system and move the bus, necessitating the transfer of passengers to another bus and increasing the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Proterra will provide installation instructions and an interlock override switch, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 9, 2023. Owners may contact Proterra customer service at 1-864-438-0000.
- 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 3 vehicles this is a small campaign: 97% 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 one model year, 2022, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2022, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Proterra vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 2 times before this, most recently in April 2021 as 21V268000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 5 other recalls published here, the newest being: 24V655000 (electrical system), 23V697000 (electrical system), 23V078000 (visibility), 22V855000 (parking brake).
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.
Filed by Proterra Operating Company, Inc. with NHTSA on November 7, 2022 as campaign 22V829000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
