On certain school buses, the interior sheet metal below the window on the left-hand side of the vehicle fails to comply with Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards 221 - School Bus Body Joint Strength. In the event of a crash, the embossed aluminum sheet may separate from the interior compartment structure and could increase the risk of personal injury to vehicle occupants. Correction: Dealers will remove the rivets, add adhesive between the sheet metal and install new rivets.
