The hazard
When a Flip Seat is installed in front of another passenger seat, it is possible for the occupant of the rearward passenger seat to insert their toes and/or foot into the lower frame area of the Flip Seat. 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.
What to do
C. E. White will work closely with the school bus manufacturers to identify and notify the school bus owners of the safety recall. The school bus manufacturers will install a safety guard to cover the gap in the lower frame of the flip seat. A notification schedule for this campaign has not yet been established. Owners should contact their vehicle manufacturer or C. E. White at 1-419-492-2157 for more information.
