The issue
Certain school buses may fail to conform to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 222 - School Bus Passenger Seating and Crash Protection. The thickness of the foam in the knee impact area of the lower seatback is insufficient, which could increase the risk of injury in a crash. Correction: Dealers will modify the seat to meet the requirements of the standard.
Description (français)
Certains autobus scolaires pourraient ne pas être conformes aux exigences de la norme de sécurité des véhicules automobiles du Canada (NSVAC) 222 - Sièges pour passager d’autobus scolaire et protection en cas de collision. En effet, l'épaisseur de la mousse dans la zone d'impact des genoux située dans le bas du dossier pourrait être insuffisante, ce qui pourrait augmenter les risques de blessures dans le cas d'une collision. Mesures correctives : Les concessionnaires doivent modifier le siège afin qu'il respecte les exigence de la norme.
