What’s wrong
In the event of a crash, the buckle mount rod may fracture preventing the occupant from being properly restrained, increasing the risk of injury.
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
IMMI will notify the school bus manufacturers that purchased the seats, and dealers for those companies will replace the buckle mount rods, free of charge. Owners may contact IMMI customer service at 1-317-896-9531.
