What's wrong
Kiel N.A. LLC., (Kiel) is recalling certain Avance coach seats, part numbers 2025 and 2050. The automatic locking retractor (ALR) mode of the seat belts supplied with these seats cannot be activated.

Consequence
A seat belt that doesn't function properly can increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
Remedy
Kiel will notify the coach bus manufacturers that purchased the seat belts, and dealers for those manufacturers will replace the affected belts, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a schedule for recall notification. Owners may contact Kiel customer service at 1-574-293-3600.
