NHTSA Campaign 24V478000

STRUCTURE:EMERGENCY:ESCAPE/EGRESS/EXIT

Issued by Daimler Trucks North America, LLC · Reported Jun 26, 2024 · 162 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Daimler Trucks North America, LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2023-2025 Thomas Built Buses Saf-T-Liner C2 and 2024-2025 Thomas Built Buses Saf-T-Liner C2 Jouley school buses. The audible emergency warning alarm sounds may not activate when the emergency hatch or window is open. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 217, "Bus Emergency Exits and Window Retention and Release."

Consequence

An inaudible alarm that fails to warn the driver of an open emergency exit can increase the risk of injury in a crash.

Remedy

Dealers will update the emergency sound software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 22, 2024. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712. DTNA's number for this recall is F1004.
