SEAT BELTS
Issued by Indiana Mills and Manufacturing Inc. · Reported Oct 2, 2017 · 1,185 vehicles affected
What's wrong
Indiana Mills and Manufacturing Inc. (IMMI) is recalling certain Generation IV School Bus seats, part number 911698. These seats, equipped with 3-point lap and shoulder belts, have a buckle mount rod that may fracture under load. As such, these seats fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."
Consequence
In the event of a crash, the buckle mount rod may fracture preventing the occupant from being properly restrained, increasing the risk of injury.
Remedy
IMMI will notify the school bus manufacturers that purchased the seats, and dealers for those companies will replace the buckle mount rods, free of charge. Owners may contact IMMI customer service at 1-317-896-9531.
