Daimler Trucks North America is recalling 23,590 Thomas Built school buses, including 2021-2024 SAF-T-LINER C2 and 2021-2023 SAF-T-LINER C2 Jouley models. A rear interior joint in these buses may have been manufactured incorrectly, leading to a structure that does not meet federal safety standards for joint strength. To fix this, dealers will add additional fasteners to secure the joints at no cost to the owner.
In the event of a crash, a school bus with insufficient joint strength may not adequately protect passengers, increasing the risk of serious injury.
Additional fasteners will be added to the rear interior joints.
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.
