2014 Lion 360 recall: seat belt

⚠️ What's wrong

Lion Buses Inc. (Lion Bus) is recalling certain model year 2014 360 school buses manufactured August 2013 to October 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

Lion Bus will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the seat belt buckle, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began in June 2014. Owners may contact Lion Bus customer service at 1-855-546-6706.

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.)
