Issue
On certain school buses, the joint between the lower interior side panel and the seat rail may not be assembled properly. As a result, the buses may not meet the joint strength requirements of Canadian regulations.
Safety risk
A wall joint that is not strong enough could increase the risk of injury in a crash.
Corrective actions
Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your bus to a DTNA authorized service facility to add additional fasteners to the joint between the lower interior side panel and the seat rail.
