Defect description

Transportation Collaborative, Inc. (TCI) is recalling certain model year 2012-2015 Trans Tech Bus Student Safety Transporter school buses manufactured December 1, 2012, to April 23, 2015.

TCI will notify owners, and dealers will remove two seats, and install a corrected capacity label, free of charge. The recall began on July 1, 2015. Owners may contact TCI customer service at 1-845-988-0419.
