HSM SOLUTIONS NEXT GEN SCHOOL BUS SEATS
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Hickory Springs Manufacturing Company is recalling certain HSM NextGen 45" 3PT school bus seats (part number GenQ3-45 LH) because bolts that secure the rear of the seat pedestal to the floor may fracture, causing the pedestal to detach from the bus floor during a crash. This disconnection can increase the risk of injury to passengers.
To remedy the defect, HSM will notify the manufacturer that purchased the affected seats, and their dealers will install a new fastener and an additional strap to the rearward seat pedestal at no cost. Affected owners may contact HSM customer service at 1-419-492-2157, extension 243 for more information about the recall, which began November 16, 2018.
