Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Freightliner LLC is recalling certain 2008 through 2011 SAF-T-LINER C2 and SAF-T-LINER HDX school buses manufactured between October 5, 2006 and May 24, 2010 that are equipped with EPA 2007 MBE 900 Detroit Diesel engines. The vehicles have defective engine software that may not properly respond to certain aftermarket treatment device fault codes, which can cause the engine to shut down unexpectedly or fail to shut down when the aftermarket device overheats.
These malfunctions create safety hazards: unexpected engine shutdown increases the risk of a crash, while failure to shut down an overheating aftertreatment device may result in a fire. Daimler Trucks will notify affected owners, and Detroit Diesel will perform repairs free of charge. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Daimler Trucks at 1-800-547-0712.
