Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Collins Bus Corporation is recalling certain 2014 school buses, including models SL400, SL408, DH400, DH416, DE416WR, DH500, DH516, and DE516WR that were manufactured between July 21, 2014, and August 19, 2014. These buses may have been assembled with insufficient adhesive on interior side panel joints, which could cause an interior edge panel to become exposed in a side collision, increasing the risk of injury to passengers.
To remedy the issue, Collins will notify owners and dealers will install additional structural fasteners on the affected body panel joints at no cost. Affected consumers should contact Collins customer service at 1-800-533-1850 to arrange for the recall service.
