NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published
The defect
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 remedy
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.
Notes
ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
