Issue
On certain school buses, the exterior side body panel(s) may not have been attached properly. As a result, the buses may not meet the joint strength requirements of Canadian regulations.
Safety Risk
A body joint that is not strong enough could increase the risk of injury in a crash.
Corrective Actions
Daimler Truck 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 rear exterior side body panel joints.
