Daimler Trucks North America is recalling 20,668 Thomas Built school buses because the emergency exit door may open unexpectedly. This affects certain 2019-2024 Thomas Built SAF-T-LINER C2 and 2020-2024 Thomas Built SAF-T-Liner Jouley models. The fasteners securing the emergency exit door can loosen and detach over time, creating a serious hazard for students and passengers while the vehicle is in motion.
An emergency exit door that opens unexpectedly while the bus is moving creates a significant risk of a passenger falling out of the vehicle, leading to serious injury or death.
Free inspection and tightening of emergency exit door fasteners.
