Check whether your vehicle is affected and follow the manufacturer’s recall instructions — the repair is free.
If the seat foam does not absorb enough impact energy, it can increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
The Recall Registry rates this worth checking — we found nothing in the notice describing a specific injury. A recall covers only the versions, UPCs or date codes it names, so check those against yours.
HSM will notify the bus manufacturers that purchased the seats, and dealers for those manufacturers will insert an additional piece of expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam into the seatback, free of charge. The recall began September 11, 2018. Owners may contact HSM customer service at 1-419-492-2157 extension 243.
