Thomas Built Buses recall: Seats
What is wrong
Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) is recalling certain model year 2014 Saf-T-Liner C2 school buses manufactured July 9, 2013, through September 12, 2013. The rivets used to attach the seat track to the floor may not have been properly seated when installed.
What could happen
In the event of a crash, any improperly seated seat track rivets may prevent the seat belt anchorages from performing as designed, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix
DTNA will notify owners and dealers will reinforce the seat track mounting as required, free of charge. The recall began on December 20, 2013. Owners may contact DTNA at 1-503-745-5219. DTNA's recall number is FL-651.
