What happened

Transportation Collaborative, Inc. is recalling certain 2011-2018 Transtech Bus SST, SST Flat Floor, and ST Aero school buses equipped with specific CE White/HSM series seats. 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 to passengers and causes these vehicles to fail to meet federal safety standards.

Owners will be notified by Transportation Collaborative, and dealers will install a styrene strip for additional padding at no cost. The recall began November 16, 2018. Affected owners can contact Transportation Collaborative customer service at 1-845-988-0419 and reference recall number 18E-056.
