Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Daimler Trucks is recalling certain model year 2009 through 2011 MVP-EF Thomas Built school buses manufactured between September 12, 2008 and July 16, 2010 that are equipped with the Megafuse Junction Box. The Megafuse Junction Box is located in an area exposed to excessive road splash and spray, which can cause the cable connections to corrode rapidly. If the corrosion goes undetected, a power cable may separate from the power source, resulting in an unexpected engine shutdown or loss of vehicle lighting and windshield wipers.
These potential failures could increase the risk of a vehicle crash. Daimler Trucks will replace the Mega Fuse Junction Block and electrical box free of charge. The safety recall began on December 13, 2010. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Daimler Trucks at 1-800-547-0712.
