Thomas Built Buses recall: Structure

What is wrong

Daimler Trucks North America, LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain model year 2016 Thomas Built Buses Saf-T-Liner C2 school buses manufactured May 1, 2015, to August 1, 2015. The affected buses are equipped with push-out tempered glass windows that may not remain attached to the bus in the event of a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 217, "Bus Emergency Exits and Window Retention and Release."

What could happen

In the event of a crash, the affected windows may not be able to retain the bus occupants, increasing their risk of injury.

The fix

DTNA will notify owners, and dealers will modify the windows to ensure that they meet the window retention requirements, free of charge. The recall began on February 9, 2016. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712. DTNA's number for this recall is FL-697.
