Vehicle recall 10V291000 · June 29, 2010

Collins Grand Bantam and Super Bantam

The seat cushion locking mechanisms were misaligned during vehicle assembly.

Source: NHTSA data as of September 22, 2026. Last refreshed Sep 23, 2026, 2:43 AM UTC.

Summary: Collins is recalling certain model year 2010 grand bantam and super bantam school buses manufactured from October 5, 2009 through January 4, 2010 and built with certain lap shoulder belt seats manufactured by immi. The seat cushion locking mechanisms were misaligned during vehicle assembly. This fails to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 222, "school bus passenger seating and crash protection."
Consequence: In the event of a crash, the seat cushion could detach from the seat, increasing the risk of injury to the bus occupants.
Remedy: Allthe buses have been repaired, therefore an owner notification letter will not be issued for this campaign.
Notes: Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.

Has your Collins been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

Check your VIN with NHTSA

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Collins dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
