OFFICIAL NHTSA RECALL
17E019000
Seats
Reported Mar 21, 2017 · Hickory Springs Manufacturing Company
Summary
Hickory Springs Manufacturing Company (HSM) is recalling certain QS11, QSCR11, QSJ11 and Davenport school bus seats that include three-point lap/shoulder seat belts. These seats may have a loose or missing D-ring mounting nut, allowing the shoulder belt D-ring to detach in a crash.
Consequence
A loose shoulder belt D-ring may prevent the seat belt from adequately restraining the seat occupant in the event of a crash, increasing their risk of injury.
Remedy
HSM has notified the bus manufacturer that purchased the affected seats and an HSM field service technician will inspect the school buses that have the subject seats, repairing them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on March 30, 2017. Owners may contact HSM customer service at 1-800-438-5341.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
