Campaign Details

Component: SEAT BELTS:FRONT:BUCKLE ASSEMBLY

Defect Description

Gillig LLC (Gillig) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Low Floor transit buses, equipped with Recaro Commercial Bus Driver Seats. 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

Gillig will notify owners and work with the supplier to replace the buckles, free of charge. The recall began on October 4, 2017. Owners may contact Adient-Recaro at 1-248-484-3250 or Gillig Service at 1-800-735-1500.
