The issue

Certain school buses built with composite front roof caps fail to comply with requirements of C.M.V.S.S. no. 221, "school bus body joint strength." the roof cap does not meet the requirements due to the omission of the adhesive that joins the roof to the bus body. In the event of a crash, the roof of the vehicle may crush, not properly protecting the vehicle occupants. Correction: dealers will re-bond the roof cap to the roof sheet metal.

Description (français)

Certains autobus scolaires dotés d'un chapeau de toit avant en matériau composite ne satisfont pas aux exigences de la N.S.V.A.C. 221 - Résistance des joints de carrosserie d'un autobus scolaire. Le chapeau de toit ne satisfait pas aux exigences parce qu'on a omis de mettre de l'adhésif entre le toit et la carrosserie de l'autobus. En cas d'accident, il se peut que le toit de l'autobus s'écrase et ne protège pas adéquatement les occupants.Correction : Les concessionnaires devront recoller le chapeau à la tôle du toit.
