SeatsJul 11, 1996 · NHTSA campaign 96V126001 · 11,371 vehicles

Problem: Vehicle description: school buses equipped with bostrom driver's seat model f222 or bostrum "routemaster" seat. Blue bird option 2821 or 2824. The seat pedestals are fatigue cracking adjacent to the weld which secures the pedestal's upper plate to the upper, telescoping portion of the adjustable column support.

Risk: The upper mounting plate and seat upper gradually becomes loose resulting in the upper plate detaching from the supporting column and the seat can fall from its mounting. This can result in personal injury to the driver.

Fix: Dealers will repair these pedestals with a newly designed pedestal bracket kit.

Visibility:glass, side/rearJan 1, 1996 · NHTSA campaign 96V023000 · 117 vehicles

Problem: These vehicles could have a latch which scrapes an aluminum trim piece increasing the force required to open. This does not comply with fmvss no. 217, "bus window retention and release."

Risk: Consequence of non-compliance: in the case of an emergency, an occupant may not be able to open the window to use as an emergency exit.

Fix: Dealers will install a new cam lock plate.

Steering:linkagesFeb 23, 1995 · NHTSA campaign 95V036000 · 2,714 vehicles

Problem: Quench cracks occurred in the pitman arm pinch bolt during the bolt manufacturing process, causing a weakness in these bolts.

Risk: These cracks can cause the bolts to fracture resulting in a loss of steering control and increasing the potential for a vehicle crash.

Fix: Blue bird will provide replacement bolts for all affected units.
