NHTSA Campaign 13V537000

SEATS

Issued by Daimler Trucks North America · Reported Oct 30, 2013 · 328 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) is recalling certain model year 2012-2014 Thomas Built Saf-T-Liner HDX and Saf-T-Liner EFX school buses manufactured October 17, 2011, through July 2, 2013. A U-bolt intended to reinforce certain seat installations to the chassis may have been left out of the assembly process.

Consequence

In the event of a crash, the seats may not stay mounted to the chassis, increasing the risk of injury.

Remedy

DTNA will notify owners and dealers will install the U-bolts as required, free of charge. The recall began on December 13, 2013. Owners may contact DTNA at 1-503-745-5219. DTNA's recall number is FL-650.
