Description

Daimler Trucks North America, LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2021-2023 Thomas Built Buses Minotour school buses. The forward seat barrier behind the driver may not provide sufficient protection to passengers.

Occupants may collide with the front seat barrier with more force than intended during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
