  1. Seats

    NHTSA 99V252000 Reported 177 vehicles potentially affected AMERICAN TRANSPORTATION CORP.

    Vehicle description: school buses equipped with anchor seats. Some of the seats were built with a seat mounting bolt that failed during testing. This does not meet the requirements of FMVSS no. 210, "seat belt assembly anchorages."

    Remedy: Owners will be instructed on how to inspect to the defect and repair the defect by replacing one bolt per seat.

    Model years: 1999

  2. Hose, piping, and connections (steering)

    NHTSA 97V048000 Reported 1,473 vehicles potentially affected AMERICAN TRANSPORTATION CORP.

    The low pressure power steering return hose can either burst or become disconnected due to increased fluid viscosity in frigid temperatures.

    Remedy: Dealers will replace the return hoses with a hose that can tolerate higher pressures, use improved clamps and a power steering fluid that is less viscous in frigid temperatures.

    Model years: 1995, 1996, 1997
