Daimler Trucks North America is recalling 7,561 model year 2011-2021 Thomas Built Saf-T Liner HDX school buses because the forward seat barriers do not provide enough protection to passengers. These barriers fail to meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards for seating and crash protection. Owners are encouraged to contact a dealer to have a spacer installed between the seat rail and the barrier to fix this issue at no cost.
In the event of a crash, passengers may hit the front seat barriers with more force than intended. This increase in impact force significantly raises the risk of serious injury for occupants.
