NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V431
Manufacturer Endera Motors
Components SEAT BELTS
Potential Number of Units Affected 180
Summary
Endera Motors (Endera) is recalling certain 2021-2024 Titan school buses. The seat assembly may have been installed without reinforcing washers on the floor anchorage bolt. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 222, “School Bus Passenger Seating and Crash Protection.”
Remedy
Dealers will inspect and install the reinforcing washers to the floor bolts, as necessary free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed by August 16, 2024. Owners may contact Endera customer service at 419-523-3593.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
We have received Endera’s proposed owner notification letter and it is currently under review. You will be notified of any changes or concerns once our review is complete.
Please be reminded of the following requirements:
Copies of all notices, bulletins, dealer notifications, and other communications that relate to this recall, including a copy of the final owner notification letter and any subsequent owner follow-up notification letter(s), are required to be submitted to this office no later than 5 days after they are originally sent (if they are sent to more than one manufacturer, distributor, dealer, or purchaser/owner).
Under 49 U.S.C. § 30112(a), it is illegal for anyone, including a manufacturer, distributor, dealer, or retailer to sell an item of equipment or vehicle that fails to comply with all applicable Federal motor vehicle safety standards.
As stated in 49 U.S.C. § 30118(f), submission of eight consecutive quarterly reports followed by three annual reports is required. As described in 573.7, submission of the first of eight consecutive quarterly status reports is required within one month after the close of the calendar quarter in which notification to purchasers occurs. Therefore, the first quarterly report will be due on, or before, 30 days after the close of the calendar quarter. The first of three consecutive annual status reports will be due on, or before, 1 year after the eighth quarterly report was submitted.
Chronology :
NHTSA performed the safety tests on the Titan Bus vehicle, and determined the failure of the pull test. Once notified, Endera Motors confirmed the findings with engineering, and worked out a resolution and notified the Recall team. Due to technical difficulties with the NHTSA portal, the process was delayed, but once resolved, the recall notice was submitted to NHTSA.
