- The defect
- Daimler Coaches North America (Daimler Coaches) is recalling certain 2026 Mercedes Benz Tourrider Business and Premium transit buses. The door control valve may not release the self holding mechanism, preventing the door from opening.
- What it can cause
- A door that cannot be opened can prevent or delay passengers from evacuating during an emergency, increasing the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Daimler Coaches will replace the door control valve, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 2, 2026. Owners may contact Daimler Coaches' customer service at 1-416-624-3558. Daimler Coaches' number for this recall is 72.40U26365A.
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 51 vehicles this is a small campaign: 78% 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, 2026, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2026, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Mercedes-Benz vehicles have been recalled over the latches/locks/linkages 10 times before this, most recently in September 2024 as 24V659000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
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 Coaches North America with NHTSA on February 4, 2026 as campaign 26V063000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
