VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: SCHOOL BUSES EQUIPPED WITH FLIP SEATS AT THE EMERGENCY EXITS. THE SEAT CUSHION HINGE ON THE COMBINATION FLIP SEAT IS LOCATED IN SUCH A MANNER THAT IT IS WITHIN EASY REACH OF THE PASSENGER SITTING IN THE SEAT LOCATED BEHIND THE COMBO FLIP SEAT.
THE HINGES ON THE COMBO FLIP SEAT CAN CAUSE A PINCHING CONDITION, RESULTING IN PERSONAL INJURY.
OWNERS WILL BE NOTIFIED AND SENT KITS TO REMEDY THESE SEATS.

THIS COULD CAUSE DIFFICULTY IN OPENING THE DOORS IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY.
OWNERS WILL BE PROVIDED WITH A REPAIR KIT AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. THE OWNERS CAN CONTACT AN AMTRAN DEALER FOR ASSISTANCE IF THEY SO DESIRE.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: SCHOOL BUSES BUILT WITH CODE G47AODM OUTWARD OPENING SERVICE DOOR AND CODE G47ACDC OR G47A5DC MANUAL DOOR CONTROL. CERTAIN CLOTHING ARTICLES SUCH AS DRAW STRINGS CAN BECOME LODGED BETWEEN THE CONTROL ROD CLEVIS AND THE ATTACHMENT AT THE DOOR AS A PERSON IS EXITING THE BUS.
IF THE DRIVER IS UNAWARE OF THIS SITUATION, THE ENTRANCE DOOR MAY BE CLOSED, CAPTURING THE ITEM IN THE DOOR. DEATH OR INJURY COULD OCCUR TO THE PERSON EXITING THE BUS.

CERTAIN CLOTHING ARTICLES SUCH AS DRAW STRINGS CAN BECOME LODGED IN THE FORWARD HANDRAILS AT THE BUS DOORS WHEN A PERSON IS EXITING THE BUS.
IF THE DRIVER IS UNAWARE OF THE SITUATION, THE ENTRANCE DOOR MAY BE CLOSED, CAPTURING THE ITEM IN THE DOOR. DEATH OR INJURY CAN OCCUR TO THE PERSON EXITING THE BUS.
DEALERS WILL REMOVE THIS HANDRAIL. PROVISIONS WILL BE MADE FOR BUSES OPERATING IN STATES THAT MANDATE A FORWARD MOUNTED HANDRAIL TO OFFER THE OWNERS A FREE REPAIR KIT CONTAINING A RUBBER SPACER.
THESE BUSES HAVE A REARVIEW MIRROR SYSTEM THAT DOES NOT MEET THE VIEWING REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 111, "REARVIEW MIRRORS."
CONSEQUENCE OF NON-COMPLIANCE: REDUCED REFLECTIVE AREA ON THE OUTSIDE REARVIEW MIRROR REDUCES THE DRIVERS APPARENT AREA OF VISIBILITY TO THE REAR OF THE BUS INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.
TWO ADD-ON CONVEX MIRRORS WILL BE PROVIDED TO THE VEHICLE OWNER WITH INSTRUCTIONS FOR MOUNTING. IF THE OWNER PREFERS, HE MAY TAKE THE BUS TO AN AMTRAN DEALER WHO WILL INSTALL THE MIRRORS.
