Defect Description

Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) is recalling certain model year 2013 Thomas Built Minotour DRW school buses manufactured June 29, 2013, through July 16, 2013. These vehicles were built with an alternative floor sheet metal which may not be properly bond to the other floor components due to the adhesive that was used.

Consequence / Hazard

As a result, the floor joints may be weaker than specified and, in the event of a crash, the floor may separate increasing the risk of injury.

Proposed Solution

DTNA will notify owners, and dealers will add fasteners to the floor joints, free of charge. The recall began on November 18, 2013. Owners may contact DTNA at 1-503-745-6910. DTNA's recall number is FL-647.
