2008–2009 Tci DW6159RLSST & 2010 Tci SC159DSFP600 recall: seats

⚠️ What's wrong

Transportation Collaborative Inc. (TCI) is recalling certain model year TransTech 2008-2009 DW6159RLSST and 2010 SC159DSFP600 school buses equipped with C.E. White-brand flip-seat systems installed in front of other passenger seats.

💥 The risk

When a vehicle passenger occupies the Flip Seat, pushing the seat bottom downward to the horizontal position to sit in the seat, the occupant of the rearward seat could suffer a pinch point injury to their toes and/or foot.
