2013 COLLINS DH500 RECALL - #13V590000

RECALL FOR SEAT BELTS

Collins Bus Corporation (Collins) is recalling certain model year 2013 model school bus and multi-functional school activity buses manufactured August 20, 2013, through November 13, 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, the buses fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies."

Description Collins Bus Corporation (Collins) is recalling certain model year 2013 model school bus and multi-functional school activity buses manufactured August 20, 2013, through November 13, 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, the buses fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies."
Consequences 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.
Corrective action Collins will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the seat belt buckle, and if necessary, replace the seat belt buckles, free of charge. The recall began on January 7, 2014. Owners may contact Collins at 1-800-533-1850.
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.
