2001 Coach And Equipment E450

Component

Seat Belts:Front:Retractor

Consequence of Defect

on certain transit buses equipped with passenger seat belts with retractors, the cover halves for the retractable portion of the belt can separate completely and release the seat belt connector. if this occurs, one of the load bearing pins in the connector could separate from the connector and render the seat belt unusable. in the event of a crash, the seat occupant would not be properly restrained resulting in an injury. the seat belt supplier, am-safe, will provide a snap on "over-cover" to owners to prevent the seat belt cover from separating.

Corrective Action

if this occurs, one of the load bearing pins in the connector could separate from the connector and render the seat belt unusable. in the event of a crash, the seat occupant would not be properly restrained resulting in an injury.

Recall Notes

owners will be provided a snap-on "over-cover" to prevent the seat belt cover from separating. owners who do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact amsafe at 574-266-8330 or coach and equipment at 1-315-535-7517.
