Motiv Power Systems, Inc. "Motiv" is recalling certain 2021-2024 E-450 school buses equipped with a Motiv Gen 4 EPIC powertrain. A wire connection point could loosen, causing a loss of 12-volt control power to the high voltage "HV" batteries.
Interruption of the 12-volt control power can cause a loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash.
Motiv field support technicians will inspect and replace the 12-volt control cable as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed December 11, 2024. Owners may contact Motiv customer service at 1-650-458-4804.
