2006–2007 IC Bus Resb recall: seats
⚠️ What's wrong
Certain 2006 and 2007 ic Resb (PB305) school buses manufactured between july 1, 2005, and may 9, 2006. A joint at the rear of the bus where the davenport is attached to the floor does not meet the joint strength requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 221, school bus body joint strength.
💥 The risk
In the event of a vehicle crash, the body structure of the bus could collapse, possibly resulting in serious injury to the bus occupants.
🔧 The fix
Ic will notify owners and will add a retaining bar along the front of the davenport free of charge. The recall began on september 15, 2006. Owners may contact ic at 1-800-843-5615 or international at 1-800-448-7825.
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.)
