On behalf of U.S. Bus, transportation collaborative, inc. (tci) is recalling certain model year 2007 u. S. Bus STH5, STHF5, and Universe model school buses manufactured after june 9, 2009.

In the event of a crash, the seat pedestal could come loose, which could result in personal injury to the occupant.

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.)
