SYNTEC S3B BASE; SYNTEC S3C SCHOOL BUS SEATS
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
SynTec Seating Solutions, LLC is recalling certain S3B Base and S3C Base Convertible school bus seats due to styrene blocks that do not provide sufficient impact absorption around the steel seat frame of the back support. This defect fails to meet federal safety standards and increases the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
To remedy the issue, dealers for the affected bus manufacturer will install additional impact material between the re-bond back and the vinyl back cover at no charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. According to the record, affected consumers may contact SynTec customer service at 1-336-862-7509.
