NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published
The defect
Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2011 IC CE transit buses equipped with certain non-retractable passenger two-point lap belts. After long term buckling and unbuckling of the seat belt, the plastic fingers on the male portion of the buckle may crack and fall off, requiring excessive force to buckle the seat belt.
The risk
In the event of a crash, the seat belt may not buckle or properly restrain a passenger in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of an injury.
The remedy
Navistar will notify owners and dealers will replace the seat belt assemblies, free of charge. Navistar issued interim notifications to owners on August 16, 2019. The recall began September 23, 2019. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825.
Notes
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.safercar.gov.NHTSA is missing critical, required information for this safety recall. This information must be supplied through the NHTSA Recalls Portal within 5 working days of confirming its accuracy:- An identification and description of the risk to motor vehicle safety reasonably related to the defect or noncompliance as described by an increased risk of injury, fire or crash (49 CFR 573.6 (c)(5)).- A description of the manufacturer's program for remedying the defect or noncompliance (49 CFR 573.6 (c)(8)(i)).
A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
