- Defect:
- Trans tech is recalling certain model year 2009 through 2011 school buses manufactured from may 2010 through july 2011equipped with a c. e. white seat cushion. the self-latching mechanism used to retain the seat cushion to the frame may not activate. accordingly, these seats fail to conform to the with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard number 222, "school bus passenger seating and crash protection."
