2014–2015 IC Bus Casb & 2014 IC Bus AE + 2 more recall: seat belt

⚠️ What's wrong

Navistar, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2014 IC Bus AE, BE and RE and model year 2014-2015 IC Bus CE school buses manufactured August 08, 2013, through November 14, 2013 and equipped with IMMI-brand L9 seat belt buckles. When the button is pressed to release the seat belt, the latch plate can become partially engaged with the buckle, making the seat belt difficult to unlatch. Thus, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies."

💥 The risk

If the latch plate remains partially engaged after the button is pressed, egress from the vehicle could be hindered which would increase the risk of injury in the event of an emergency.

🔧 The fix

Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the seat belt buckles, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on February 26, 2014. Owners may contact Navistar at 1-800-448-7825. Navistar's numbers for this campaign are 13519 and 13520.

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.)
