Thomas Built Buses recall: Steering

What is wrong

Daimler trucks (dtna) is recalling certain model year 2010 saf-t-liner c2 school buses manufactured from october 23, 2008 through april 20, 2009 equipped with trw igen3 intermediate steering columns. The weld around the igen3 steering shaft tube that secures the spline tube to the intermediate tube may be mislocated (I.e., not fully over the seam created when the tubes are pressed together.)

What could happen

Mislocated welds may result in torsional and axial strength falling below acceptable levels. This condition could result in separation of the steering column, loss of steering control and a vehicle crash without warning.

The fix

Dtna will notify owners and the buses will be repaired free of charge. The safety recall began on december 23, 2010. Owners may contact dtna at 1-800-547-0712.
