Collins Bus Corporation foam in the knee impact area of the lower seat back may not absorb enough impact in the event of a crash.
The short version
Collins Bus Corporation reported a problem with the seats. Here is what owners need to know.
The foam in the knee impact area of the lower seat back may not absorb enough impact in the event of a crash. 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."
If the seat foam does not absorb enough impact energy, it can increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
Collins will notify owners, and dealers will install additional foam into the seat backs, free of charge.
