The defect
Transportation Collaborative, Inc. (Transtech) is recalling certain 2015-2016 Trans Tech SST, ST Aero, and SST FLR school buses built on Chevrolet chassis and equipped with certain CE White-brand QS11 Series convertible school bus seats. These seats were manufactured with integral D-Ring mounting studs that may have inadequate padding between the occupant and the D-ring mounting stud.
The risk
In the event of a rear end collision, the seat occupant's head may contact the D-ring mounting stud, increasing the risk of injury.
The remedy
Transtech will notify owners, and dealers will add the proper padding, free of charge. The recall began on November 15, 2017. Owners may contact Transtech customer service at 1-845-988-0419. Transtech's number for this recall is 17e045.
