Defect description

Transportation Collaborative, Inc. (TCI) is recalling certain model year 2011-2014 Trans Tech Bus school buses manufactured January 10, 2011, through March 10, 2014, and equipped with 39" seats with or without 3-point seat belts. For the full list of the affected models, click on "Associated Documents" and then please click on "Associated Documents" and then "Noncompliance Notice(Part 573)." The affected buses have seats that may not remain properly anchored to the floor. As such, these vehicles do not conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) number 207, "Seating Systems," and number 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."

Safety risk

In the event of a crash, if the seat does not remain anchored to the floor, the seat occupant has an increased risk of injury.

Manufacturer remedy

TCI will notify owners and dealers will install additional mounts to secure the seats to the floor, free of charge. The recall began on April 23, 2014. Owners may contact TCI at 1-845-988-2333.
