Safety recall notices and repair campaigns registered for the 2019 Thomas Built Minotour School Bus in Canada.
This recall affects certain school buses equipped with SynTec S3B and/or S3C passenger seats. On some seats, the protective foam in certain areas of the seatback may not meet the knee impact requirements of Canadian regulations.
A seatback that does not have proper knee impact protection could increase the risk of injury to occupants in a crash.
The company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a Daimler Trucks of North America authorized service facility to install additional protective material in the seatbacks.
On certain school buses, the outer handle for the roof hatch (emergency exit) could break. If this happens, it would be difficult to open the roof hatch from outside the bus.
An emergency exit that is difficult to open could increase the risk of injury in an emergency.
The company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a Daimler Trucks North America authorized service facility to replace the roof hatch outer handle.
