The issue

On certain school buses, some panels may not meet the joint strength requirement specified in Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 221 - School Bus Body Joint Strength. In the event of a crash, these panels may separate, which could increase the risk of personal injury to vehicle occupants. Correction: Dealers will install additional rivets.
