2013 Lion 360 recall: seats
⚠️ What's wrong
Lion Bus is recalling one model year 2013 360 school bus equipped with passenger seats that have three-point seat belts. In an impact, the backs of these seats absorb an insufficient amount of impact force. Thus, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 222, "School Bus Passenger Seating and Crash Protection."
💥 The risk
Noncompliant seats may increase the risk of injury to occupant during a crash.
🔧 The fix
The owner of the bus has been notified of the safety issue. Owners may contact Lion Bus at 1-450-432-5466.
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.)
