Motiv Power Systems, Inc. "Motiv" is recalling certain 2020 F-59 school buses equipped with a Motiv Gen 5 EPIC powertrain. A support bracket may fatigue and break, allowing the main power disconnect to contact other structures and short.
An electrical short can shut down the high voltage system, resulting in a loss of drive power and increasing the risk of a crash.
Motiv field support technicians will replace the bracket, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed June 13, 2025. Owners may contact Motiv customer service at 1-650-458-4804.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 888-327-4236 'TTY 888-275-9171' or go to nhtsa.gov.
