The problem
DURING MANUFACTURE, INCONSISTENCIES MAY HAVE OCCURRED IN THE WELDS JOINING FLOOR SECTIONS. CERTAIN WELDED JOINTS MAY HAVE WEAKNESSES AND MAY NOT COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD 221, "SCHOOL BUS BODY JOINT STRENGTH". IMPROPER WELDS MAY ALLOW SECTIONS OF THE FLOOR TO SEPARATE IN A SEVERE COLLISION.
What owners should do
THE DEALER WILL INSPECT ALL INVOLVED VEHICLES AND ANY NECESSARY CORRECTIVE ACTION WILL BE MADE AT NO COST TO OWNER.
