What is wrong
Hickory Springs Manufacturing Company (HSM) is recalling certain QS11, QSCR11, QSJ11 and Davenport school bus seats that include three-point lap/shoulder seat belts. These seats may have a loose or missing D-ring mounting nut, allowing the shoulder belt D-ring to detach in a crash.
What can happen
A loose shoulder belt D-ring may prevent the seat belt from adequately restraining the seat occupant in the event of a crash, increasing their risk of injury.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
HSM has notified the bus manufacturer that purchased the affected seats and an HSM field service technician will inspect the school buses that have the subject seats, repairing them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on March 30, 2017. Owners may contact HSM customer service at 1-800-438-5341.

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.
