2014–2018 Thomas Built Buses Saf-T-Liner EFX & 2014–2018 Thomas Built Buses Saf-T-Liner HDX recall: seats
⚠️ What's wrong
Daimler Trucks North America LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2014-2018 Thomas Built Buses Saf-T-Liner EFX and Saf-T-Liner HDX school buses. The occupant seats may have been installed without under-rail washers, reducing their anchorage strength.
💥 The risk
Without under-rail washers, in the event of a crash, the seats may come loose, increasing the risk of injury.
🔧 The fix
DTNA will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the seats and replace the mounting hardware, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on June 28, 2017. Owners may contact DTNA Customer Service 1-800-547-0712. DTNA's number for the recall is FL-737.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
