Defect

On forward-folding seats located beside the emergency exit on buses, the retaining pin holding the seat in position has insufficient holding force. Additionally, variation in the installation of the tip-over prevention bracket may result in insufficient engagement depth. If a passenger falls rearward against the seat during hard braking, the hinge fixing may release and, in the worst case, the seat may tip over.

Corrective action

On all vehicles, inspect the seats adjacent to the emergency exit. On affected seats lacking a tip-over prevention bracket, add one. On seats already equipped with a tip-over prevention bracket, inspect the engagement depth; if insufficient, add shims to bring the engagement depth within specification.
