2010 COLLINS SUPER BANTAM; 2010 COLLINS GRAND BANTAM
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Collins Bus Corporation is recalling certain 2010 Grand Bantam and Super Bantam school buses manufactured between October 5, 2009 and January 4, 2010 that were equipped with specific lap-shoulder belt seats made by IMMI. The seat cushion locking mechanisms on these buses were misaligned during assembly, which could cause the seat cushions to detach from the seats in a crash, potentially injuring bus occupants. This condition violates federal safety requirements for school bus passenger seating and crash protection.
According to the recall notice, all affected buses have already been repaired. The manufacturer will not be issuing owner notification letters for this recall campaign.
