Lion Bus Inc.: Seats

The defect
Lion Bus is recalling one model year 2013 360 school bus equipped with passenger seats that have three-point seat belts. In an impact, the backs of these seats absorb an insufficient amount of impact force. Thus, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 222, "School Bus Passenger Seating and Crash Protection."
The risk
Noncompliant seats may increase the risk of injury to occupant during a crash.
The remedy
The owner of the bus has been notified of the safety issue. Owners may contact Lion Bus at 1-450-432-5466.

What this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 13V440000.
