Daimler Trucks North America is recalling 17,613 Thomas Built EFX and HDX school buses from model years 2011 through 2023. The exterior roof panels on these buses were manufactured with joints that are not strong enough to meet federal safety standards. If the roof panel joints fail during a crash, the panel could separate and increase the risk of injury to children and other passengers inside the bus. Dealers will install additional mechanical fasteners to properly secure the joints at no cost to the vehicle owners.
The roof panel joints lack sufficient strength and may break apart or separate during a collision, potentially exposing passengers to sharp edges or failing to provide structural protection during a crash.
Dealers will add additional mechanical fasteners to secure the 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.
