Seats

Summary: Certain collins my 2002-2005 bantam, super bantam, and grand bantam model school buses manufactured between April 22, 2002, and April 27, 2005. These buses were equipped with a bench-style single passenger seats having a lower cushion surface of 24 inches in width. These seats should have a seating surface of only 22 inches for a signal designated seating position. These seats do not conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 222, school bus passenger seating and crash protection.
Consequence: These seats should have a seating surface of only 22 inches wide to have a single designated seating position. Because the 24 inch cushion is wider than 22 inches, the potential exists for two passengers to be seated in this seat. A second passenger would not have an available seat belt for restraint and may be injured in a crash.
Remedy: Collins will notify its customers and replace the 24 inch seat cushion with a 22 inch seat cushion free of charge. The recall began April 29, 2005. Owners may contact collins customer service at 1-800-533-1850.
