Issue

Certain school buses may not comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 221 - School Bus Body Joint Strength. Adhesive required to meet the requirements of the standard may have been omitted from window body panel joints on vehicles equipped with optional transit-style sliding windows. This could increase the risk of injury to occupants in a crash. Correction: Dealers will install additional rivets to increase joint strength.
