What is wrong
SEAT FRAMES DO NOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE PROTECTION IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. THIS CONSTITUTES A NON COMPLIANCE TO FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 222, "SCHOOL BUS SEATING AND CRASH PROTECTION".
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
THE SEAT FRAMES WILL BE REPLACED WITH HIGHER QUALITY STEEL SEAT FRAMES ON ALL INVOLVED VEHICLES.

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.
