What NHTSA recorded

Certain 2004 corbeil minibus school buses manufactured between april 26 and may 21, 2004. An inadequate quantity of glue was used to seal the ceiling joints which fails to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 221, school bus body joint strength.

Possible consequence

In the event of a vehicle crash, the longitudinal roof joint could have less strength as required by fmvss 221, increasing the risk of injury.

Remedy

Corbeil will notify its customers and repair the buses by adding additional glue and/or screws to enforce the ceiling joints free of charge. The recall began on march 17, 2006. Customers may contact corbeil at 450-439-3577.
