Seats
Problem: Van-Con, Inc. (Van-Con) is recalling certain 2011-2018 33803 Dual Rear Wheel school buses, equipped with CE White/HSM SB11-30" series, standard, unbelted, school bus seats, or SB11-30" series school bus seats with lap belts only. The foam in the knee impact area of the lower seat back may not absorb enough impact in the event of a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 222, "School Bus Passenger Seating and Crash Protection."
Risk: If the seat foam does not absorb enough impact energy, it can increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
Fix: Van-Con will install a parts kit, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 2, 2019. Owners may contact Van-Con customer service at 1-732-356-8484.

Problem: Van-Con, Inc. (Van-Con) is recalling certain 2011-2017 Dual Rear-Wheel school buses, model 33803, built on Chevrolet 3500 chassis.

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 222, "School Bus Passenger Seating and Crash Protection."
Risk: The incorrectly positioned seat belt assembly may increase the risk of occupant injury in the event of a crash.
Fix: Van-Con will notify owners and will replace the buckle end of the seat belt with a shorter length buckle end, free of charge. The recall began on December 19, 2017. Owners may contact Van-Con customer service at 1-732-356-8484.
