SEATS

Issued by Hickory Springs Manufacturing Company · Reported Aug 15, 2018 · 5,906 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Hickory Springs Manufacturing Company (HSM) is recalling certain NextGen School Bus seats with Integrated Child Restraint Systems. These seats may be missing a warning label on the lower restraint strap. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 213, "Child Restraint Systems."

Consequence

Without a warning label, the seat may be used improperly, increasing the risk of injury.

Remedy

HSM will notify the vehicle manufacturers that purchased the seats and dealers for those companies will install a warning label to the lower restraint strap portion of the Restraint Belt System. The recall began August 20, 2018. Owners may contact HSM customer service at 1-419-492-2157 extension 243.
