What the record says
- Product
- THOMAS BUILT BUSES SAF-T-LINER C2 JOULEY (2024) - Recall 23V843000
- Reason
- Daimler Trucks North America, LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2024-2025 Thomas Built SAF-T-LINER C2 and 2024 Thomas Built SAF-T-LINER C2 Jouley school buses. A rear interior joint between the bulkhead and window panel 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." A school bus with insufficient joint strength may not adequately protect passengers in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
