Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) is recalling certain 2014-2020 Thomas Built school buses—including Saf-T-Liner EFX, Minotour, Saf-T-Liner C2, and Saf-T-Liner HDX models—equipped with SynTec S3B or S3C seats. The seats may have insufficient impact absorption material around the steel seat frame in the back support area, which increases the risk of injury during a crash and violates federal safety standards.
DTNA will notify owners and install additional impact material between the seat back and vinyl cover at no charge to increase absorption. DTNA issued an interim notification on November 29, 2019, and the recall began on June 22, 2020. Affected consumers should contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712 to arrange the repair, referencing recall number FL-832.

Daimler Trucks North America LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2014-2020 Thomas Built Saf-T-Liner EFX, Minotour, Saf-T-Liner C2, and Saf-T-Liner HDX school buses equipped with SynTec S3B or S3C seats. The seats may have been manufactured with styrene blocks that may not provide sufficient impact absorption in certain specific areas around the steel seat frame of the back support. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 222, "School Bus Passenger Seating and Crash Protection."
