Thomas Built Buses recall: Exterior lighting
What is wrong
Daimler Trucks North America LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain model year 2015 Minotour school buses manufactured August 1, 2013, to June 4, 2014. In the affected vehicles, if the hazard and brake lights are used simultaneously, the circuit may be overloaded and cause the fuse to blow.
What could happen
If the fuse blows, the hazard lights and brake lights will cease to function, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
DTNA has notified owners, and dealers have replaced the fuses with fuses of a higher amperage, free of charge. The recall began in November 2014. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-745-8000. DTNA's number for this recall is FL-666.
