What is wrong
CERTAIN BUSES BUILT ON THE FREIGHTLINER SPRINTER CHASSIS FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARDS NO. 207, "SEATING SYSTEMS," AND NO. 210, "SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY ANCHORAGES." THE UNDER FLOOR SUPPORT FOR THE SEAT MOUNTING DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THESE STANDARDS.
What can happen
IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, THE SEAT OCCUPANT MAY NOT BE PROPERLY RESTRAINED, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALERS WILL ADD ADDITIONAL SUPPORT FOR MOUNTING THE SEAT LEGS THROUGH THE FLOOR. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN MARCH 28, 2003. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT STARCRAFT BUS AT 1-574-533-1105, EXT. 367.

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.
