Daimler Trucks North America is recalling 71 Thomas Built SAF-T-LINER HDX2 school buses from the 2026 and 2027 model years. The driver's seat belt anchor may have been installed with inadequate hardware, which fails to meet federal safety standards. Dealers will inspect and replace the seat belt fastener components free of charge to ensure the driver is properly protected.
In the event of a crash, an improperly installed seat belt anchor may fail to restrain the driver. This failure increases the risk of serious injury to the driver during a collision.
Recall involves vehicles failing to comply with FMVSS 210, 'Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages.'
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
