On certain school buses, the retention barrier located between the first row seat and the driver's seat does not comply with the requirements of CMVSS 222 - School Bus Passenger Seating and Crash Protection. During a crash, the first row seat occupants may not be adequately restrained within the seat compartment area, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will replace the barrier.
