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.

Structure / Frame and Members
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
These units are equipped with a counter weight assembly made up of 300 pounds of 1/4" plate steel welded together and bolted between the frame rails in the rear overhang just forward of the rear bumper. Some of the welds have broken due to insufficient welds, corrosion, or ice expansion.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
These plates can drop to the roadway becoming a hazard to following vehicles increasing the potential for an accident.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Dealers will install a mechanical retaining device which clamps the plates together and fastened with threaded fasteners. Bus owners will have the option of repairing their own vehicles.
