Summary
Buswest is recalling certain model year 2011 hdx school buses built on thomas built chassis from October 6, 2009 through January 25, 2010 equipped with seats manufactured by immi.

Consequence

Has your Thomas Built Buses 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.

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