Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Collins Bus Corporation is recalling certain 2011-2018 school buses equipped with specific seat models that may not provide adequate impact protection. The affected vehicles are Collins SL, SH, DH, DE, and TH buses built on Promaster chassis and fitted with CE White/HSM SB11-30" series seats (either standard unbelted or with lap belts only). The foam in the knee impact area of the lower seat back may not absorb enough energy during a crash, which could increase the risk of injury to passengers.
To remedy this issue, Collins dealers will install additional foam into the seat backs at no cost to owners. Affected owners should contact Collins customer service at 1-800-533-1850, extension 424, and reference recall number 18e056. The recall began December 21, 2018.
