⚠️ What's wrong
Certain 2005 collins Bantam, Super Bantam, and Grand Bantam school buses and Super Omni buses built between august 1 and september 15, 2005. The fasteners securing the seats and the barriers to the wall track may be inadequately tightened which fails to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 210, seat belt assembly anchorages and FMVSS no. 222, school bus passenger seating and crash protection.
💥 The risk
In the event of a crash, the seat occupants may not be adequately protected, possibly resulting in serious injuries.

Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
