Source: NHTSA data as of September 22, 2026. Last refreshed Sep 23, 2026, 2:43 AM UTC.

Summary: 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.
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.

Has your Corbeil been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

Check your VIN with NHTSA

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Corbeil dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
