| Description |
A-Z Bus Sales, Inc. (A-Z Bus) is recalling certain model year 2005-2013 Blue Bird A3RE and D3RE school buses equipped with C.E. White-brand flip seats. |
| Consequences |
When a Flip Seat is installed in front of another passenger seat, it is possible for the occupant of the rearward passenger seat to insert their toes and/or foot into the lower frame area of the Flip Seat. When a vehicle passenger occupies the Flip Seat, pushing the seat bottom downward to the horizontal position to sit in the seat, the occupant of the rearward seat could suffer a pinch point injury to their toes and/or foot. |
| Corrective action |
A-Z Bus Sales will notify the school bus owners of the safety recall. A-Z Bus Sales will install a safety guard to cover the gap in the lower frame of the flip seat. Owners can contact A-Z Bus at 1-800-437-5522 or C. E. White at 1-419-492-2157 for more information. |
