Thomas Built Buses recall: Structure

What is wrong

Daimler Trucks North America, LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2026 Thomas Built SAF-T-LINER HDX2 school buses. Rear exterior joints may have been manufactured incorrectly, resulting in insufficient joint strength. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 221, "School Bus Body Joint Strength."

What could happen

A school bus with insufficient joint strength may not adequately protect passengers in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

The fix

Dealers will add additional fasteners to secure the joints, free of charge. All vehicles have been remedied. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-574-0712. DTNA's number for this recall is F1026.
