Thomas Built Saf-T-Liner C2 School Bus: Steering
Affects Thomas Built Saf-T-Liner C2 School Bus · 2018–2019 — about 4 vehicles.
The hazard
On certain school buses, the bolts that join the steering and tie rod arm to the steering knuckle may not have been properly tightened. This could lead to a separation of the tie rod arm and cause a loss of steering control. This could create a risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Daimler Trucks North America Authorized Service Facilities will inspect the steering and tie rod arm bolts to ensure they are torqued correctly and install new fasteners as necessary.
