Campaign Details

Component: SEAT BELTS:FRONT:BUCKLE ASSEMBLY

Defect Description

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 / Hazard

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.

Proposed Solution

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.
