Service bulletin 16V-172
A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

NHTSA's summary
Blue Bird Body Company is recalling certain model year 2011 through 2017 All American Rear Engine School Buses manufactured from August 20, 2010, through December 16, 2015. Buses with rear side emergency doors have seats over the wheelhouse area whose rear legs may detach from the floor in a crash, resulting in belted occupants traveling forward. As such, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) Number 210, “Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages.” If the seat does not allow the occupant to be properly restrained in the event of a crash, they would be at an increased risk of injury.
The document
