A recall listed here may apply to a vehicle of this year, make and model. Only the manufacturer can say whether it applies to one vehicle: check the VIN with the official lookups.

- Published by: NHTSA \(United States\)
- Campaign number: 19V657000
- Manufacturer: Transportation Power, Inc.
- Reported: 2019\-09\-17
- Owners notified: 2019\-09\-26
- Component: ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL \(ESC\)
- Units potentially affected: 12

## What is wrong

Transportation Power, Inc. \(TransPower\) is recalling certain 2017\-2018 electric trucks built on Peterbilt 579 chassis.  The vehicles do not have stabilization hardware and software that interacts with the braking system.  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard \(FMVSS\) number 136, "Electronic Stability Control Systems on Heavy Vehicles."


## What can happen

Without a Electronic Stability Control system, there is a greater chance of loss of stability control, which increases the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

TransPower will notify owners, and dealers will install an Electronic Stability Control \(ESC\) system, free of charge.  The recall began September 26, 2019.  Owners may contact TransPower customer service at 1\-858\-248\-4255.


## 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.safercar.gov.
