    Seats

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Certain collins my 2002-2005 bantam, super bantam, and grand bantam model school buses manufactured between april 22, 2002, and april 27, 2005. These buses were equipped with a bench-style single passenger seats having a lower cushion surface of 24 inches in width. These seats should have a seating surface of only 22 inches for a signal designated seating position. These seats do not conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 222, school bus passenger seating and crash protection.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    These seats should have a seating surface of only 22 inches wide to have a single designated seating position. Because the 24 inch cushion is wider than 22 inches, the potential exists for two passengers to be seated in this seat. A second passenger would not have an available seat belt for restraint and may be injured in a crash.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Collins will notify its customers and replace the 24 inch seat cushion with a 22 inch seat cushion free of charge. The recall began april 29, 2005. Owners may contact collins customer service at 1-800-533-1850.

    Equipment

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    On certain school buses equipped with floor mounted wheelchair anchorage pockets that are used to accommodate and secure wheelchairs, during manufacturing, the reinforcement plate for the pocket may have been placed in the wrong position. This would not allow the screws to be attached through it.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    In the event of a crash, the anchorage may not retain the wheelchair. Serious injury to the wheelchair occupant or other vehicle occupants may result.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Collins will repair the buses by inserting a reinforcement extension plate and redrilling holes into this plate for the wheelchair anchorage screws to pass through. Owner notification is began september 3, 2003. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact collins at 1-800-533-1850.
