The problem
Transportation Collaborative Inc. (TCI) is recalling certain model year TransTech 2008-2009 DW6159RLSST and 2010 SC159DSFP600 school buses equipped with C.E. White-brand flip-seat systems installed in front of other passenger seats.
The risk
When a Flip Seat is installed in front of another passenger seat, it is possible for the occupant of the rearward passenger seat to insert their toes and/or foot into the lower frame area of the Flip Seat. When a vehicle passenger occupies the Flip Seat, pushing the seat bottom downward to the horizontal position to sit in the seat, the occupant of the rearward seat could suffer a pinch point injury to their toes and/or foot.
The fix
TCI will notify owners and C.E. White Corporation will work with the owners to provide a remedy free of charge. The recall began on August 16, 2013. Owners may contact TCI at 1-845-988-2333.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
