What's wrong

Daimler Trucks North America, LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2014-23 Thomas Built Buses HDX and 2014-22 EFX school buses equipped with 39-inch S3C seat frames and 3-point flex seatbelts. The passenger seat frames may crack and rotate from fatigue.

The risk

Cracked passenger seat frames may not adequately secure passengers in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
