What NHTSA recorded

Transportation Collaborative, Inc. (Transportation Collaborative) is recalling certain model year 2012-2015 Trans Tech Student Safety Transporter school buses manufactured from December 1, 2012, through April 23, 2015. In the event of a crash, the barrier on the driver's side may not deform as intended. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Standard (FMVSS) number 222, "School Bus Passenger Seating and Crash Protection."

Possible consequence

If the barrier does not deform properly, vehicle occupants are at a greater risk of injuries should they impact the barrier in a crash.

Remedy

Trans Tech will notify owners and provide a free retrofit kit along with installation instructions. An interim notice was distributed to owners on April 14, 2016. The recall began on April 18, 2016. Owners may contact Transportation Collaborative customer service at 1-845-988-0419.
