Thomas Built Buses recall: Structure

What is wrong

Daimler Trucks North America, LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2022 Thomas Built Minotour School Buses equipped with an optional rear door Vandalock system. The engine can potentially be started while an emergency exit is still locked. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 217, "Bus Emergency Exits and Window Retention and Release."

What could happen

A locked emergency exit can delay passengers from exiting the vehicle during an emergency, increasing their risk of injury.

The fix

DTNA will notify owners, and dealers will repair the Vandalock interlock system, free of charge. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712. DTNA's number for this recall is FL-876.
