- The defect
- Proterra Operation Company, Inc. (Proterra) is recalling certain 2017-2019 Catalyst transit buses. One or more battery packs may allow liquid to leak into and accumulate in the battery pack enclosure.
- What it can cause
- The accumulation of liquid inside the battery pack enclosure increases the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Proterra will update software, inspect, and replace the battery pack, free of charge. Owner letters were mailed November 6, 2023. Owners may contact Proterra's 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 .
| Vehicle | Model years | Safety record |

How this campaign compares
At 300 vehicles this is a small campaign: 55% 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 2017 to 2019, so the oldest vehicles on it were 5 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Proterra vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 3 times before this, most recently in November 2022 as 22V829000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 6 other recalls published here, the newest being: 24V655000 (electrical system), 23V697000 (electrical system), 22V114000 (steering), 21V268000 (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.
Filed by Proterra Operating Company, Inc. with NHTSA on November 30, 2022 as campaign 22V887000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
