What was wrong

Defect

Hickory Springs Manufacturing Company (HSM) is recalling certain NextGen School Bus seats with Integrated Child Restraint Systems. These seats may be missing a warning label on the lower restraint strap. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 213, "Child Restraint Systems."

Risk

Without a warning label, the seat may be used improperly, increasing the risk of injury.

Manufacturer remedy

HSM will notify the vehicle manufacturers that purchased the seats and dealers for those companies will install a warning label to the lower restraint strap portion of the Restraint Belt System. The recall began August 20, 2018. Owners may contact HSM customer service at 1-419-492-2157 extension 243.
