OFFICIAL NHTSA RECALL

17E035000

Seat Belts:front:buckle Assembly

Reported Jul 10, 2017 · Adient plc

Summary

Adient plc (Adient) is recalling certain Recaro Commercial Bus Driver Seats, models Ergo R, Ergo D, AM71, AM72 and AM80. In the affected seats, the seat belt buckle may be stuck in the locked position, preventing the seat belt tongue from being able to be inserted and locked.

Consequence

If the seat belt cannot be latched, the bus may be operated without the seat belt being used, increasing the risk of injury in the event of a crash.

Remedy

Adient will notify the bus manufacturers that purchased the seats with the defective seat belt buckles and will replace the buckle housings, free of charge. The recall began on August 15, 2017. Owners may contact Adient at 1-734-254-5000.

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.
