IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL
See enclosed VIN list
Subject: TBB SynTec S3B Seat Frames
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
Daimler Trucks North America LLC, on behalf of its wholly owned subsidiary, Thomas Built Buses, Inc., has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists on specific Saf-T-Liner C2, EFX, and HDX and Minotour school and non-school buses manufactured August 18, 2014, through February 5, 2018.
Under certain extreme operating conditions, such as adverse road conditions, repetitive shock loads, or occupant abuse, a metal fatigue crack may develop on the S3B seat rear wall mount bracket. Over time, such a crack may propagate and lead to fracturing of the wall mount bracket. A seat with a severely cracked or fractured wall mount bracket may increase the risk of injury to occupants in the event of a crash.
An additional wall bracket will be installed between the wall rail and the seat on each suspect seat.
This is the second notice regarding this recall and is to inform you the remedy is now available. To arrange for repairs, you should contact your local Thomas Built Buses dealer immediately. The repair may take up to two hours, depending on the number of seats affected, and will be performed at no charge to you.
You may be liable for any progressive damage that results from your failure to complete the Recall within a reasonable time after receiving notification.
