Thomas Built Saf-T-Liner C2 recalls
Risk: The increase in engine speed may result in unintended acceleration, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: If this occurs, the fan belt may lose engagement of the water pump, allowing the cooling system to overheat. This may result in exceeding temperature limits, potentially disabling the school bus. If the school bus is occupied when it becomes disabled, the occupants would need to exit the vehicle and be transferred to another vehicle, putting them at risk of injury.
Risk: In the event of an emergency, egress of the bus may be hindered possibly resulting in injury to the vehicle occupants.
Risk: An electrical fault or short circuit may result in a fire.
Risk: If the inlet or outlet sections disconnect, hot exhaust gases can vent prior to exiting the tailpipe, creating the risk of combustion and a fire. If both clamps fail, there is a risk in some applications that the doc/dpf housing may detach completely, creating a road hazard.
