Defect description

Lion Bus Inc. (Lion Bus) is recalling certain model year 2013 and 2014 360 school buses manufactured August 30, 2012, to December 14, 2012. Adhesive may not have been applied properly to the joint between the metal ceiling panels. As such, the buses may not meet the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 221, "School Bus Body Joint Strength."

Safety risk

In the event of a crash, the metal ceiling joint may split apart, increasing the risk of injury to the passengers.

Manufacturer remedy

Lion Bus will notify owners, and dealers will install rivets to the two ceiling joints to add strength to the joints, free of charge. The recall began in November 2014. Owners may contact Lion Bus customer service at 1-855-546-6706.
