Issue
Issue:
Certain school buses do not meet the joint strength requirements of the Canadian regulations. In a crash, the ceiling joint could separate.
Safety Risk:
A ceiling joint that separates in a crash could create a risk of injury to bus passengers.
Corrective Actions:
The company will notify all owners by mail and provide them with directions for how to have the roof inspected and repaired, as necessary. Part of the inspection will include counting the number of rivets used to mount the roof panels. Any 8 inch roof section that is found to have less than 6 rivets will require repair. Owners with further questions should contact their local dealer.
