    Seats

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Vehicle description: school buses equipped with bostrom driver's seat model f222 or bostrum "routemaster" seat. Blue bird option 2821 or 2824. The seat pedestals are fatigue cracking adjacent to the weld which secures the pedestal's upper plate to the upper, telescoping portion of the adjustable column support.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    The upper mounting plate and seat upper gradually becomes loose resulting in the upper plate detaching from the supporting column and the seat can fall from its mounting. This can result in personal injury to the driver.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Dealers will repair these pedestals with a newly designed pedestal bracket kit.

    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
