Eldorado National-Kansas (Eldorado) is recalling certain model year 2016 Advantage and Aerotech transit buses manufactured January 15, 2016, to January 29, 2016 and built on a Ford chassis. These vehicles are equipped with seats that may separate from the base frame due to bolt failure. As such, these seats fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety System (FMVSS) number 222, "School Bus Passenger Seating and Crash Protection." In the event of a crash, the seat can separate from the base frame, increasing the risk of injury to the seat occupant.
