What happened

Daimler Trucks North America LLC is recalling certain 2017-2020 Thomas Built Buses Saf-T-Liner C2 school buses with specific Switch Hub Module part numbers (204803 and 216434) combined with a 500k Bulk Head Module and a certain 3-position momentary switch warning light package. The Switch Hub Module that controls the exterior warning lights and stop sign may fail, causing the red warning lights, stop sign, and system indicator to deactivate. If these exterior warning lights and stop sign stop working, other drivers may inadvertently proceed driving before students finish loading or unloading from the bus, increasing the risk of injury.

DTNA will notify owners and dealers will update the Switch Hub Module at no charge. The recall began on April 15, 2020. Affected consumers should contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712 to arrange the free update. DTNA's reference number for this recall is FL-844.
