SERVICE BRAKES
Proterra, Inc. (Proterra) is recalling certain 2015-2018 Catalyst 40 buses equipped with an optional tow fitting and airline that allows a tow truck to operate the rear brakes on the vehicle. The mesh cap covering the airline for the tow fitting can be clogged with road debris in inclement weather, possibly resulting in a build up of air pressure in the rear brake system.
Risk: A build up of air pressure can cause the brakes to drag and possibly overheat, increasing the risk of fire.

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:SUPPLY:RESERVOIR/TANK
Proterra Inc., (Proterra) is recalling certain 2015-2018 Catalyst 40 transit buses. The affected vehicles lack a Graham White air brake supply reservoir, possibly resulting in long term moisture build up in the air brake system. As a result, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 121, "Air Brake Systems."
Risk: Built-up of moisture in the air brake system may lead to brake failure, increasing the risk of crash.

EQUIPMENT:OTHER:LABELS
Proterra, Inc is recalling certain 2015-2018 Catalyst 40, and Catalyst 35 buses. The certification label may list an incorrect gross front axle weight rating and/or incorrect tire pressures. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."
Risk: If the tire pressure is understated, an underinflated tire may result in an increased risk of tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:DISC:CALIPER
Proterra is recalling certain 2016-2017 Proterra Catalyst 40 transit buses equipped with axles with radial air disk brakes. Surface roughness of a guide pin in the radial brake calipers may cause the brake carriage guide pin support bolt to break.
Risk: Breakage of the guide pin can cause loss of braking ability or loss of tire pressure, increasing the risk of a crash.
