Certain school buses, equipped with seats manufactured by SynTec Inc, fail to conform to the requirements of C.M.V.S.S. no. 222, "school bus passenger seating and crash protection." some seats (1) can fail to meet the required 4" clearance during the test procedure, while still meeting the post test condition; (2) fail to meet the required frontal pre-load when testing under certain conditions; or (3) while still meeting the required force/defection, weld breakage has been found on some seats. In the event of a crash, the seat occupant may not be properly protected. Correction: dealers will replace the seat frame and the seat back cushion on these vehicles. No vehicles were sold in Canada.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 2001286.

Reading this against the source
This page is what Transport Canada published in the Vehicle Recalls Database, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /canada, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.
What the words on this notice mean — the system it is filed under, and what the filing type says about who found the fault.
This notice names one vehicle among several registers that have written about it. Every notice this site holds for the Thomas Built Minotour, in all seven, is kept on that vehicle's own page, with the newest in each.
This register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Canadian recalls on a Thomas Built: 214 in the register, and 301 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2001.
