NHTSA Campaign 19V478000
SEAT BELTS
Issued by Navistar, Inc. · Reported Jun 21, 2019 · 1,035 vehicles affected
What's wrong
Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2011 IC Bus BE, CE, and RE school buses equipped with certain non-retractable passenger two-point seat belts. After long term buckling and unbuckling of the seat belt, the plastic fingers on the male portion of the buckle may crack and fall off, requiring excessive force to buckle the seat belt.
Consequence
The seat belt may not easily buckle, increasing the risk of an injury in the event of a crash.
Remedy
Navistar will notify owners and dealers will replace the seat belt assemblies, free of charge. Navistar issued owners an interim notification on August 16, 2019. The recall began September 23, 2019. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825.
