Description

Proterra, Inc is recalling certain 2015-2018 Catalyst 40, and Catalyst 35 buses. The certification label may list an incorrect gross front axle weight rating and/or incorrect tire pressures. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification." If the tire pressure is understated, an underinflated tire may result in an increased risk of tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.
