Recall 01V244000

Seats — Us Bus · reported 31 Jul 2001 · 195 vehicles potentially affected

What's wrong

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: SCHOOL BUSES. TWO FASTENERS WERE OMITTED IN ASSEMBLING THE WALL MOUNT BRACKET TO THE SEAT FRAME.

The risk

THIS COULD COMPROMISE THE COMPARTMENTALIZATION OF THE SEATING AREA IN A CRASH, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY TO A SEAT OCCUPANT.

The fix

OWNERS WILL BE PROVIDED WITH MODIFICATION KITS AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. OWNER NOTIFICATION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING AUGUST/SEPTEMBER 2001. OWNERS WHO DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE MODIFICATION KIT AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT US BUS AT 1-845-357-2510.

ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
