2023 Thomas Built Buses Saf-t-liner Efx: Structure recall
NHTSA campaign 22V517000 · 3 units potentially affected · filed Jul 20, 2022
What's wrong
Daimler Trucks North America, LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2023 Thomas Built Buses Saf-T-Liner EFX 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 an emergency exit roof hatch, free of charge. All vehicles have been remedied. Owners may contact DTNA's customer service at 1-800-547-0712. DTNA's number for this recall is FL947.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
