STRUCTURE:BODY:ROOF AND PILLARS

Issued by Daimler Trucks North America, LLC · Reported Oct 12, 2022 · 17,613 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Daimler Trucks North America, LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2011-2023 Thomas Built EFX and HDX school buses. The exterior roof panel was manufactured with insufficient joint strength. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 221, "School Bus Body Joint Strength."

Consequence

A school bus exterior roof panel with insufficient joint strength may separate during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

Remedy

Dealers will add additional mechanical fasteners to secure the joints, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 2, 2023. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712. DTNA's number for this recall is FL957.
