NHTSA Campaign 17E019000

SEAT BELTS

Issued by Hickory Springs Manufacturing Company · Reported Mar 21, 2017 · 1,549 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Hickory Springs Manufacturing Company (HSM) is recalling certain QS11, QSCR11, QSJ11 and Davenport school bus seats that include three-point lap/shoulder seat belts. These seats may have a loose or missing D-ring mounting nut, allowing the shoulder belt D-ring to detach in a crash.

Consequence

A loose shoulder belt D-ring may prevent the seat belt from adequately restraining the seat occupant in the event of a crash, increasing their risk of injury.

Remedy

HSM has notified the bus manufacturer that purchased the affected seats and an HSM field service technician will inspect the school buses that have the subject seats, repairing them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on March 30, 2017. Owners may contact HSM customer service at 1-800-438-5341.
