The short version

Van-Con, Inc. reported a problem with the seats barriers. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

The seat barrier behind the driver seat may be pinned to the bulkhead preventing it from deforming in the event of an impact. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 222, "School Bus Passenger Seating and Crash Protection."

WHY IT MATTERS

If the barrier is too rigid to absorb an impact, the occupants will have an increased risk of injury.

WHAT TO DO

Van-Con will notify owners and will reposition the barrier as necessary, free of charge.
