Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Daimler Trucks North America is recalling certain 2020-2023 Thomas Built Buses Saf-T-Liner EFX school buses because the passenger seat mounting bolts may break. The broken bolts result from improper placement that allows the mounting bolts to contact the chassis cross member bolts. If the mounting bolts break, the passenger seat may not properly restrain occupants during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
To remedy this problem, dealers will add a spacer to provide proper clearance between the passenger seat mounting and chassis cross member bolts at no charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on June 2, 2022. Affected owners should contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712, and may reference recall number FL-921.
