COLLINS IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2010 GRAND BANTAM AND SUPER BANTAM SCHOOL BUSES MANUFACTURED FROM OCTOBER 5, 2009 THROUGH JANUARY 4, 2010 AND BUILT WITH CERTAIN LAP SHOULDER BELT SEATS MANUFACTURED BY IMMI. THE SEAT CUSHION LOCKING MECHANISMS WERE MISALIGNED DURING VEHICLE ASSEMBLY. THIS FAILS TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 222, "SCHOOL BUS PASSENGER SEATING AND CRASH PROTECTION."
The risk
IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, THE SEAT CUSHION COULD DETACH FROM THE SEAT, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY TO THE BUS OCCUPANTS.
