Thomas Built C2 School Bus: Other
Affects Thomas Built C2 School Bus · 2006–2007 — about 79 vehicles.
The hazard
On certain school buses, an inlet air fitting may fail, preventing the actuating air from powering the swing-out cross arm. A non-deploying cross arm allows passengers to walk within an area not visible by the driver as they cross in front of the bus during pick-up or discharge, placing them at risk of injury or death. Correction: Dealers will replace the inlet fitting plate assembly.
