Ce White recall: Seats

What is wrong

Hickory Springs Manufacturing Company (HSM) is recalling certain CE White school bus seat assemblies which incorporate Seat Bottom Cushion assemblies manufactured February 2, 2015, to April 1, 2015, described as School Bus Seat Bottom with Virgin Foam Core, in sizes ranging from 26-inches to 45-inches wide. For a complete list of the affected seats, see the products table. The affected seats may not meet the flammability requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 302, "Flammability of Interior Materials."

What could happen

If the seats are built with this seat bottom foam core, the seats may not resist catching fire in the presence of an ignition source, increasing the risk that a fire may start or spread.

The fix

HSM will notify the bus manufacturers that used the affected seat foam cores, and their dealers will replace the school bus seat bottoms with foam that is compliant to the safety standard, free of charge. The recall began on May 1, 2015. Owners may contact HSM customer service at 1-800-438-5341.
