Champion Bus when the back seat cushion is rotated from the stowed position to the upright position, the seat cushion may not remain locked into place when under load, such as in a crash or a sudden stop.
The short version
Champion Bus, Inc. reported a problem with the seats. Here is what owners need to know.
When the back seat cushion is rotated from the stowed position to the upright position, the seat cushion may not remain locked into place when under load, such as in a crash or a sudden stop. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 207, "Seating Systems," and number 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."
In the event of a crash, if the seat back moves, the seat occupant has an increased risk of injury.
Champion will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and repair the foldaway seat, free of charge.
