SEAT BELTS:CRITICAL FASTENERS
- The defect
- Endera Motors (Endera) is recalling certain 2021-2024 Endera school buses. The seat assembly may have been installed without reinforcing washers on the floor anchorage bolt. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 222, "School Bus Passenger Seating and Crash Protection."
- What it can cause
- Without reinforcement, the seat assembly anchorage can detach, allowing the seat to move during a crash and increasing the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and install the reinforcing washers to the floor bolts, as necessary free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed by November 11, 2024. Owners may contact Endera customer service at 419-523-3593.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov. We have received Endera's proposed owner notification letter and it is currently under review. You will be notified of any changes or concerns once our review is complete. Please be reminded of the following requirements: Copies of all notices, bulletins, dealer notifications, and other communications that relate to this recall, including a copy of the final owner notification letter and any subsequent owner follow-up notification letter(s), are required to be submitted to this office no later than 5 days after they are originally sent (if they are sent to more than one manufacturer, distributor, dealer, or purchaser/owner). Under 49 U.S.C. § 30112(a), it is illegal for anyone, including a manufacturer, distributor, dealer, or retailer to sell an item of equipment or vehicle that fails to comply with all applicable Federal motor vehicle safety standards. As stated in 49 U.S.C. § 30118(f), submission of eight consecutive quarterly reports followed by three annual reports is required. As described in 573.7, submission of the first of eight consecutive quarterly status reports is required within one month after the close of the calendar quarter in which notification to purchasers occurs. Therefore, the first quarterly report will be due on, or before, 30 days after the close of the calendar quarter. The first of three consecutive annual status reports will be due on, or before, 1 year after the eighth quarterly report was submitted.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 180 vehicles this is a small campaign: 62% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2021 to 2024, so the oldest vehicles on it were 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 2 other recalls published here: 24V631000 (equipment), 24V630000 (structure).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Endera Motors with NHTSA on June 12, 2024 as campaign 24V431000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
