HSM Solutions Seats recall
Recalled February 8, 2019 · NHTSA recall 19E010000 · HSM Solutions
Description
Hickory Springs Manufacturing Company (HSM) is recalling certain FB11-39 DRW restraining barriers. In a hard braking situation or vehicle crash event, the barrier may not properly restrain an unbelted seat occupant. As a result, these barriers fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 222, "School Bus Passenger Seating and Crash Protection."
What to do
HSM is working with Collins Bus, the purchaser of the affected barriers to notify owners, and Collins Bus dealers will install an extra part on the restraining barrier to reinforce the barrier frame, free of charge. The recall began February 28, 2019. Owners may contact HSM customer service at 1-419-492-2157 extension 243.
