Campaign Details

Component: SEAT BELTS:FRONT:BUCKLE ASSEMBLY

Defect Description

Prevost Cars, Inc. (Prevost) is recalling certain Recaro AM71, AM72 and AM80 commercial bus driver seats sold as aftermarket replacement parts. 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

Prevost will notify the purchasers, and dealers will inspect the driver seat belt buckles and replace them, if necessary, free of charge. The recall began on April 30, 2018. Owners may contact Prevost customer service at 1-866-870-2046. Prevost's numbers for this recall are CR4316E and CR4340E.
