- The problem
- Certain u.S. Bus sturdibus, sturdivan, and universe school buses manufactured between may 1, 2000, and may 2, 2006. In a crash, the wall and floor mounting bolts can pull through the supporting steel which fails to conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 210, Seat belt assembly anchorages. Also the seats in these buses do not comply with the seat spacing requirements of fmvss 222, school bus passenger seating and crash protection.
- The risk
- In the event of a crash, the mounting bolts could fail to retain the seat, allowing the passenger to be thrown forward, possibly resulting in personal injuries.
- The fix
- U.S. Bus will notify owners and repair the buses free of charge. The recall began on december 14, 2009. Owners can contact u.S. Bus at 765-939-3984.
