Description

Lion Buses Inc. (Lion Bus) is recalling certain model year 2014 360 school buses manufactured August 2013 to October 2013, and equipped with IMMI-brand L9 seat belt buckles. When the button is pressed to release the seat belt, the latch plate can become partially engaged with the buckle, making the seat belt difficult to unlatch. Thus, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies."

What to do

Lion Bus will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the seat belt buckle, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began in June 2014. Owners may contact Lion Bus customer service at 1-855-546-6706.
