HIGH POINT, N.C. — Thomas Built Buses announced on Wednesday that it will extend its standard Saf-T-Liner C2 base warranty and the standard body and chassis paint coverage for all models.
The Saf-T-Liner C2 base warranty will provide three-year or 50,000-mile coverage, up from the previous one-year warranty, for units built on or after Oct. 1, 2014. The warranty will cover the chassis and many other components, including electrical and manual controls, safety equipment, assemblies and more. Normal wear items are excluded.
