NHTSA Campaign 13V371000

SEATS

Issued by Transportation Collaborative, Inc. · Reported Aug 16, 2013 · 100 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Transportation Collaborative Inc. (TCI) is recalling certain model year TransTech 2008-2009 DW6159RLSST and 2010 SC159DSFP600 school buses equipped with C.E. White-brand flip-seat systems installed in front of other passenger seats.

Consequence

When a Flip Seat is installed in front of another passenger seat, it is possible for the occupant of the rearward passenger seat to insert their toes and/or foot into the lower frame area of the Flip Seat. When a vehicle passenger occupies the Flip Seat, pushing the seat bottom downward to the horizontal position to sit in the seat, the occupant of the rearward seat could suffer a pinch point injury to their toes and/or foot.

Remedy

TCI will notify owners and C.E. White Corporation will work with the owners to provide a remedy free of charge. The recall began on August 16, 2013. Owners may contact TCI at 1-845-988-2333.
