What’s wrong with it?
WITHOUT THE REINFORCEMENT ROD, THE STRENGTH OF THE SEAT MAY BE COMPROMISED, INCREASING THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH.
NAVISTAR IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2011 IC CE TRANSIT BUSES MANUFACTURED FROM FEBRUARY 22 THROUGH MARCH 16, 2010 EQUIPPED WITH PASSENGER FLIP SEATS.
THE WELD THAT RETAINS A REINFORCEMENT ROD INSIDE THE SEAT BACK FRAME TUBE MAY FAIL ALLOWING THE ROD TO FALL OUT OF THE FRAME.
THE SEATS FAIL TO CONFORM TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 222, “SCHOOL BUS PASSENGER SEATING AND CRASH PROTECTION.”

What the record doesn’t say
- NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
- Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
- This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
- How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
