What owners report

2023-04-10, Seats
Two student seat backs failed in multiple locations. The seat back structures also had welds that did not penetrate and failed and and the metal mesh that forms the seat back broke into pieces. A complaint of a student feeling something poking him led me to investigate the seats and find the failures in two of the seats in the bus. The student safety was put at risk. In the event of an accident a student could have been injured due to the overall structural failure of the seat back. I have contacted the local Blue Bird Dealer and requested a factory representative review the seat. I have owned this vehicle since new and it has not been involved in an accident.
