Daimler Trucks North America, LLC "DTNA" is recalling certain model year 2017 Thomas Built Buses Saf-T-Liner C2 school buses manufactured April 30, 2016, to July 29, 2016 and equipped with a compressed natural gas "CNG" engine. During a fast fuel fill, an internal seal on a filling valve may dislodge allowing fuel to leak after the tank has been filled.
A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source may increase the risk of a fire.
DTNA has notified all affected owners and all of the vehicles have been remedied, therefore owner notification notices will not be issued for this campaign. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712. DTNA's number for this recall is FL-720.
