⚠️ What's wrong
Certain 2000-2006 U.S. Bus Sturdibus school buses manufactured between may 1, 2000, and may 2, 2006. The barriers were not installed correctly which fails to conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 222, school bus passenger seating and crash protection.
💥 The risk
In the event of a vehicle crash, a passenger's head could be deflected into an unprotected area possibly resulting in 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.)
