Chronology :

In late May 2022, DTNA learned of an IC Bus recall in connection with certain 8.8 L propane-powered engines supplied by PSI, which DTNA also uses in its vehicles. Given this recall and the information identified, DTNA proactively assessed its available data to ascertain potential exposure, if any, to its vehicles. The assessment helped to connect limited pieces of information from a problem that DTNA had believed it solved.

DTNA’s analysis identified two service reports in or around January 2022 indicating potentially-related stalling phenomena, as well as one customer report from a fleet with error codes indicating emission related codes, but no stalling. DTNA’s analysis also identified vehicles presenting error codes potentially related to the IC Bus issue in or around late February 2022—but again, without stalling. Given this information, in or around February 2022, DTNA attempted to induce a stalling condition but was unable to do so. At or around the same time, discussed the issue and tested a solution of replacing the ECMs on the affected vehicles, which seemed to resolve the fault codes and any possible stalling issue. Based upon that information, at that time DTNA reasonably concluded those issues to be resolved and not to present an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety. The problem was not known to recur until late-May 2022, when DTNA received a report that the fixed vehicles were again stalling and, at approximately the same time, learned of the IC recall. DTNA promptly opened an investigation.

While the information available to DTNA through that investigation is unclear, given IC Bus’s recall decision, viewed in conjunction with the contemporaneous stall reports and the information mustered by DTNA during its investigation, on June 17, 2022, out of an abundance of caution and in the interests of safety, DTNA decided to file a recall. To the best of DTNA’s knowledge, there are no reported deaths or injuries related to this issue.

In late June, 2022, DTNA discovered that one C2 non-school bus was erroneously included in 22V438’s population. Upon learning of this information, DTNA immediately reviewed all pertinent facts available at the time and began the process of filing an amended DIR.
