What's wrong
SynTec Seating Solutions, LLC (SynTec) is recalling certain S3B 45" Restraint School Bus Seats. The seat's foot may pull through the bolted joint at the bus floor. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."
Consequence
If the seat mounting foot detaches from the floor, it can increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
Remedy
SynTec has notified the bus manufacturer that purchased the seats, and dealers for those manufacturers will install a washer between the rear mounting foot and the bus floor, free of charge. The recall began on August 7, 2018. Owners may contact SynTec customer service at 1-336-862-7509. SynTec's number for this recall is RES101.
