What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

DRIVER SEATS HAVE SAFETY BELT TETHER STRAPS WHICH ARE IMPROPERLY ANCHORED TO THE STEEL SEAT BASE AND NOT TO THE FLOOR AS RECOMMENDED.

The risk

DUE TO IMPROPER ANCHORING LOCATION, THE SPACER WHICHHOLDS THE SAFETY BELT AWAY FROM THE SEAT BASE IS RESTRICTED BY THE TETHER STRAPSTRAP WHEN THE SEAT MOVES, CAUSING INCREASED SLACK IN THE BELT THAT WOULD NOTPROPERLY RESTRAIN DRIVER IN AN ACCIDENT OR SUDDEN STOP.

The remedy

MOVE THE ANCHOR POINT FOR SAFETY BELT TETHER STRAP, REVISE THE MODESTY PANEL TO ADD CLEARANCE, AND REPLACE THE ICP BARS.

Notes

SYSTEM: SAFETY BELT TETHER:VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: BUSES WITH ISRINGHAUSEN DRIVER SEATS.

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.
