Details

What's wrong: Certain buses built on the freightliner sprinter chassis fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standards no. 207, "seating systems," and no. 210, "seat belt assembly anchorages." The under floor support for the seat mounting does not meet the requirements of these standards.

Why it matters: In the event of a crash, the seat occupant may not be properly restrained, increasing the risk of injury.

The fix: Dealers will add additional support for mounting the seat legs through the floor. Owner notification began March 28, 2003.
