2000–2001 Mid Bus School BUS recall: seat belt
⚠️ What's wrong
Vehicle description: certain School buses equipped with safety belt assemblies produced by am-safe. On some seat belts, the buckle and connector may unlatch during a collision.
💥 The risk
Serious injury or death could occur if the vehicle occupant is not properly restrained.
🔧 The fix
Am-safe notified mid bus' customers to return their vehicle to an authorized dealer to have the seat belts repaired free of charge. Owner notification began august 31, 2000. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact am-safe commercial products at 219-266-8330 or mid BUS at 1-419-358-2500.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
