Daimler Trucks North America is recalling 99 school buses, including 2025-2026 Thomas Built Saf-T-Liner HDX and Saf-T-Liner C2 models, and 2026 Saf-T-Liner EFX and Saf-T-Liner C2 Jouley models. The tie rod castle nut and cotter pin may have been improperly installed, which can lead to a complete loss of steering control. Authorized dealers will inspect and replace the tie rod assembly as necessary, free of charge.
If the tie rod fasteners are not installed correctly, the steering components can disconnect. This leads to a total loss of steering control, significantly increasing the risk of a crash.
Inspection and replacement of the tie rod assembly.
