Seats

What is wrong
Trans tech is recalling certain model year 2009 through 2011 school buses manufactured from may 2010 through july 2011equipped with a c. E. White seat cushion. The self-latching mechanism used to retain the seat cushion to the frame may not activate. Accordingly, these seats fail to conform to the with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard number 222, "school bus passenger seating and crash protection."
Risk
If the seat cushion is not fully latched to the seat structure, it could flip up out of position in the event of a crash. This could increase the risk of injury to the vehicle occupants.
Remedy
Trans tech will notify owners, and dealers will repair the seats free of charge. The safety recall began on march 7, 2012. Owners may contact trans tech at 1‑845‑988‑0419.
