2016 Proterra Catalyst recalls
Loose Steering Gearbox Can Cause Loss of Steering Control
The steering gearbox bolts may loosen because the adhesive bonding the torque limiter plate to the bus body may be insufficient.
Clogged Tow Fitting Can Cause Brake Drag and Fire Risk
A mesh cap covering the airline on an optional tow fitting can become clogged with road debris in wet or harsh weather.
Front Tires Can Overload and Fail, Raising Crash Risk
Certain transit buses from 2015 through 2018 have a four-point height control system that can cause a load imbalance, putting too much weight on the front tires.
Moisture in Air Brakes Could Cause Brake Failure
Some transit buses are missing an air brake supply reservoir, which allows moisture to build up over time in the air brake system.
Incorrect tire pressure label may lead to tire failure
The certification label on certain buses may list an incorrect gross front axle weight rating and/or incorrect tire pressures.
Brake caliper guide pin can break, causing loss of braking
Certain buses have radial air disc brake calipers with a guide pin that may have surface roughness.
