S3B 45” Restraint Seats manufactured February 5, 2018 through June 10, 2018
General Information
SynTec Seating Solutions, LLC has decided that a non-compliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard FMVSS 210: Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages exists in certain school buses equipped with S3B 45” restraint school bus seats. The non-compliance was initially identified based on routine testing conducted at SynTec’s manufacturing facility in High Point, North Carolina. The S3B 45” restraint seat failed to meet the testing requirements, allowing the floor mount foot to pull through the bolted joint above 4500 lbs. (5000 lbs. minimum requirement). The installation of a washer between the rear mounting foot and bus floor bolt heads increases surface contact of the bolted joint, preventing pull through.
