Hickory Springs Manufacturing Company — SEATS

Is my product affected?

CE WHITE SCHOOL BUS SEAT

  • Brand CE WHITE

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Hickory Springs Manufacturing Company is recalling certain CE White SB11-30" series school bus seats, both standard unbelted seats and seats with lap belts only. The foam in the knee impact area of the lower seat back may not absorb enough impact energy during a crash, which could increase the risk of injury and causes these seats to fail to meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 222.

HSM will notify bus manufacturers that purchased the seats, and dealers will insert an additional piece of expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam into the seatback at no charge. The recall began September 11, 2018. Affected consumers may contact HSM customer service at 1-419-492-2157 extension 243.
