Summary

Daimler Trucks North America, LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain model year 2016 Thomas Built Buses Saf-T-Liner C2 school buses manufactured May 1, 2015, to August 1, 2015. The affected buses are equipped with push-out tempered glass windows that may not remain attached to the bus in the event of a crash.

Consequence

In the event of a crash, the affected windows may not be able to retain the bus occupants, increasing their risk of injury.

Remedy
