Floor Pedestal may Detach/FMVSS 210
Description
Hickory Springs Manufacturing Company (HSM) is recalling certain HSM NextGen 45" 3PT school bus seats, part number GenQ3-45 LH.

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."
Injuries / Consequence
If the floor pedestal disconnects from the floor during a crash, it can increase the risk of injury.
Remedy
HSM will notify the manufacturer that purchased the affected seats, and their dealers will install a new fastener and an additional strap to the rearward seat pedestal, free of charge. The recall began November 16, 2018. Owners may contact HSM customer service at 1-419-492-2157, extension 243.
