Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Daimler Trucks North America is recalling certain 2013-2015 Thomas Built Buses Minotour dual rear wheel school buses manufactured between October 21, 2011, and January 16, 2014, that are equipped with specific 3-passenger IMMI or S3C brand seats in the rear section. The vehicles are missing floor reinforcement channels that were supposed to be installed during manufacturing to provide additional support for the seat mounting.
The missing floor reinforcement channels can cause the floor to flex during a crash, which may result in inadequate restraint of seat occupants and increase the risk of injury. To remedy this issue, Daimler will notify owners and dealers will install the missing floor reinforcement channels at no charge. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Daimler at 1-800-385-4537 and reference recall number FL-659.
