ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING
- The defect
- Daimler Trucks North America, LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain Thomas Built Buses 2024-2025 Saf-T-Liner C2 and Saf-T-Liner C2 Jouley school buses. The ground cable for the air conditioning system may have been improperly installed and overheat.
- What it can cause
- An overheated ground cable can increase the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and repair the ground cable connection, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 11, 2024. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 800-745-8000. DTNA's number for this recall is F1008.
- 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 .

How this campaign compares
At 629 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 53% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2024 to 2025, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2024, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Thomas Built Buses vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 33 times before this, most recently in December 2023 as 23V879000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 20 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V523000 (fuel system, diesel), 26V522000 (fuel system, diesel), 26V228000 (exterior lighting), 25V604000 (steering).
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 Daimler Trucks North America, LLC with NHTSA on August 1, 2024 as campaign 24V569000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
