Check whether your vehicle is affected and follow the manufacturer’s recall instructions — the repair is free.
What’s wrong
If the seat belt locking mechanism does not function as intended, the bus driver may not be properly restrained, increasing the risk of personal injury in the event of a crash.
The Recall Registry rates this worth checking — we found nothing in the notice describing a specific injury. A recall covers only the versions, UPCs or date codes it names, so check those against yours.
What to do
Gillig will notify the owner, and Recaro will provide a remedy that will reorient the seat belt retractor and tether bar mounting, free of charge. The recall began on March 31, 2015. Owners may contact Gillig customer service at 1-510-785-1500.
