02- Seats And Restraints#2016635
263 units affected
On certain school buses built on a Ford chassis and equipped with a frame/floor extension, when a force is applied on the seat belt of seats installed over the frame/floor extension, the frame extension adaptor may deform or tear. In the event of a crash, the provided extension adaptor may break causing the floor to raise and deform, enhancing the risk of injuries for passengers seating on the seats attached over the frame/floor extension and the row directly in front of them. Correction: Vehicle owners will be provided with instructions and parts to modify the vehicles.
- Accessories#2015569
27 units affected
On certain school buses equipped with a Ricon wheelchair lift, the lift platform sides may crack, which could cause the lift to lean against the vehicle door(s) and potentially fall out of the vehicle when the doors are opened, putting the lift operator at risk of injury. Correction: Owners will be provided with inspection and repair instructions, as well as necessary repair parts.
