What's wrong
Daimler Trucks North America, LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2023 Thomas Built Saf-T-Liner C2 School Buses. The buses may not have a sufficient number of emergency exits. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 217, "Bus Emergency Exits and Window Retention and Release."
Why it matters
An insufficient number of emergency exits can delay passengers from exiting the vehicle during an emergency, increasing their risk of injury.
The fix
Dealers will add the emergency exit windows, as necessary, free of charge. All vehicles have been remedied. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712. DTNA's number for this recall is FL940.
