The issue
On certain buses, the washers used to mount the seats to the floor of the bus may have been improperly heat treated, causing them to become brittle and potentially crack. If the washer is cracked and dislodges from the seat mounting area, the seat may become loose at the base, which could increase the risk of injury in the event of a sudden stop or crash. Correction: Dealers will replace all affected washers with washers that have sufficient hardness.
Description (français)
Sur certains autobus, les rondelles utilisées pour fixer les sièges au plancher de l'autobus pourraient avoir subi un traitement thermique inadéquat. Elles pourraient devenir cassante, se fissurer et sortir de la zone de fixation des sièges. Le cas échéant, la base des sièges ne serait pas fixée correctement, ce qui pourrait augmenter les risques de blessures lors d'un arrêt brusque ou d'un accident. Mesure corrective : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer toutes les rondelles visées par des rondelles à dureté adéquate.
