Van-Con, Inc. recall 17V694000

Van-Con, Inc. (Van-Con) is recalling certain 2007-2017 Dual Rear Wheel school buses built on Chevrolet 3500 Express chassis. The seat barrier behind the driver seat may be pinned to the bulkhead preventing it from deforming in the event of an impact. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 222, "School Bus Passenger Seating and Crash Protection."

Reported 11/02/2017

What can happen

If the barrier is too rigid to absorb an impact, the occupants will have an increased risk of injury.

Repair

Van-Con will notify owners and will reposition the barrier as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on December 19, 2017. Owners may contact Van-Con customer service at 1-732-356-8484.
