What this recall means for you
Certain buses have seat leg bolts that may not have been tightened properly during assembly. Loose bolts can make a seat less secure, which increases the risk of injury to passengers if the bus is involved in a crash.
The remedy is free. Dealers will inspect the seat bolts and tighten them to the correct specification. Owners will be notified by the manufacturer, but you can also contact Collins customer service at 1-800-533-1850, extension 424, to ask about your vehicle. You can also check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls.
If you own or operate an affected bus, schedule the free inspection with an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
