The problem
On behalf of u.s. Bus, transportation collaborative, inc. (tci) is recalling certain model year 2007 u. S. Bus sth5, sthf5, and universe model school buses manufactured after june 9, 2009. The pedestal-to-floor anchor bolts and washers are incorrect which cause the buses to fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 210, "seat belt assembly anchorages."
The risk
In the event of a crash, the seat pedestal could come loose, which could result in personal injury to the occupant.
The fix
Tci will notify owners and provide repair kits and instructions free of charge. The safety recall began on july 26, 2010. Owners may contact tci at 1-845-988-2333.
