What was wrong

Defect

THE INVOLVED VEHICLES WERE MODIFIED BY REMOVING TWO REAR SEATS AND INSTALLING TWO FULL SIZE SEATS IN THEIR PLACE. THIS CREATES A CONFLICT WITH FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 217, "SCHOOL BUS EMERGENCY EXIT EXTENSION". THE REQUIRED AMOUNT OF CLEARANCE IS NOT PROVIDED IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLES.

Manufacturer remedy

THE LARGER SEATS WILL BE REMOVED AND THE ORGINAL SEATS REINSTALLED.
