2019–2020 Thomas Built Buses Minotour recall: backup camera
⚠️ What's wrong
Daimler Trucks North America LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2019-2020 Thomas Built Minotour school buses. The school buses may be missing backup cameras. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rearview Mirrors."
💥 The risk
The lack of rear visibility increases the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
DTNA will notify owners, and dealers will add a backup camera system, free of charge. DTNA issued owners an interim notification date on October 11, 2019. The recall began December 23, 2019. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712. DTNA's number for this recall is FL-825.
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.)
