• Trolley bus circuit breaker fires investigation # PE21002

  By letter submitted july 7th 2020, los angeles world airports (lawa) informed the national highway traffic safety administration (nhtsa) of three separate fire incidents resulting in the total loss of eight of its spirit of america trolley buses. These buses were manufactured by arboc sv llc on incomplete chassis from freightliner custom chassis corporation (fccc). Considering the safety concerns and substantial losses, lawa grounded the remaining buses in their fleet and requested nhtsa to conduct an investigation on the vehicles destroyed in the fires.Nhtsas office of defects investigation (odi), contacted both the manufacturer and the fleet to obtain the necessary information needed to understand the problem and take appropriate actions. Evidence provided by lawa points to an improperly secured 30 amp recessed circuit breaker which can short circuit resulting in key-on and key-off fires. Unlike the fleet, the manufacturer believes that the three fires are not related and have nothing to do with the 30 amp breaker.This preliminary evaluation has been opened to determine if a defect in the subject vehicles represents an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety.
