Seats
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.
Structure:body
Problem: The floor line handrail bracket can expand during use and create an opening which could entrap coat strings, etc. And other articles of clothing.
Risk: When a passenger's clothing becomes caught in the handrail, and the bus driver closes the door and puts the vehicle in motion,the individual could be dragged by the bus. This can result in serious injury or death.
Fix: Dealers will replace the flat split floor line bracket with a round tubular bracket.
