SEATS

Issued by SynTec Seating Solutions, LLC · Reported Mar 9, 2018 · 6,610 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Syntec Seating Solutions, LLC (Syntec) is recalling certain S3B Non-Restraint Wall Mounted Seats. The wall mounting bracket may crack, causing the seat to not remain secured in place 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."

Consequence

In the event of a crash, if the seat does not remain secured to the wall, the occupant has an increased risk of an injury.

Remedy

Syntec will notify owners, and dealers will install an additional wall mounting bracket, free of charge. Syntec issued owners an interim notification on April 13, 2018. The recall began May 30, 2019. Owners may contact Syntec customer service at 1-336-862-7509. Syntec's number for this recall is NRB100.
