Recall 11V-572: 2010–2011 Startrans Mfsab
STARTRANS BUS CORPORATION recall for seats, reported to NHTSA on Dec 2, 2011, covering about 69 vehicles.
The problem
Startrans is recalling certain model year 2010 and 2011 mfsab school buses manufactured from april 14, 2010, through june 7, 2011, equipped with c. E. White self-latching seat cushions. The self-latching mechanism used to retain the seat cushion to the frame may not activate. Accordingly, these seats fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 222, "school bus passenger seating and crash protection."
The risk
Vehicle occupants may be injured in the event of a vehicle crash should the seat cushion flip up out of place. Also, out of position seat cushions could interfere with emergency egress of the vehicle.

Startrans will notify owners, and dealers will repair the seats free of charge. The safety recall began on january 16, 2012. Owners may contact startrans at 1-574-642-4730.
