What is wrong
THE SCHOOL BUSES EXCEED THE CHASSIS MANUFACTURER'S GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT RATING (GVWR) BY 650 LBS. AND FAIL TO COMPLY WITH FMVSS 105, "HYDRAULIC BRAKE SYSTEMS."
What can happen
THE SCHOOL BUSES DO NOT MEET THE STOPPING DISTANCEREQUIREMENTS SPECIFIED BY FMVSS 105 IF THE SCHOOL BUS HAS A GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHTGREATER THAN THE MAXIMUM GVWR SPECIFIED BY THE CHASSIS MANUFACTURER. A FULLYLOADED BUS COULD HAVE AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE INCREASE IN STOPPING DISTANCE.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
REMOVE THE REQUIRED NUMBER OF PASSENGER SEATS SO THAT THE CAPACITY OF THE VEHICLE IS REDUCED TO 10,000 LBS. OR LESS.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
