NHTSA Campaign 19E010000

SEATS:BARRIERS

Issued by Hickory Springs Manufacturing Company · Reported Feb 8, 2019 · 6,786 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Hickory Springs Manufacturing Company (HSM) is recalling certain FB11-39 DRW restraining barriers. In a hard braking situation or vehicle crash event, the barrier may not properly restrain an unbelted seat occupant. As a result, these barriers fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 222, "School Bus Passenger Seating and Crash Protection."

Consequence

Failure to properly restrain an unbelted seat occupant can increase the risk of injury.

Remedy

HSM is working with Collins Bus, the purchaser of the affected barriers to notify owners, and Collins Bus dealers will install an extra part on the restraining barrier to reinforce the barrier frame, free of charge. The recall began February 28, 2019. Owners may contact HSM customer service at 1-419-492-2157 extension 243.
