Reported: 1979-10-01 (October 1, 1979) · Model years: 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978

THE INVOLVED VEHICLES DO NOT CONFORM TO FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 209, "SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES". THE KNURL BAR IN THE BUCKLE DOES NOT ADEQUATELY HOLD THE WEBBING IN PLACE UNDER LOAD.

81V070000 · Seat Belts:Front:Anchorage

Reported: 1981-06-08 (June 8, 1981) · Model years: 1978, 1979, 1980

THE INVOLVED SCHOOL BUSES DO NOT COMPLY WITH FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 210, "SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY ANCHORAGES", IN THAT THE SEAT BELT ANCHORAGES WERE NOT SPACED 6.5 INCHES APART.

Remedy: THE OWNER IS ASKED TO INSPECT HIS/HER SEAT BELT ANCHORAGE FOR THE REQUIRED 6.5 INCH CLEARANCE. THOSE THAT DO NOT HAVE THE REQUIRED CLEARANCE WILL BE CORRECTED AT NO CHARGE. THE OWNER ALSO HAS THE OPTION TO BRING HIS VEHICLE IN TO HAVE THE DEALER INSPECT AND MAKE THE NECESSARY MODIFICATIONS. IF THE OWNER WOULD LIKE TO REPOSITION THE SEAT BELT ANCHORAGES HIMSELF, THE DEALER WILL SEND A RETROFIT KIT CONSISTING OF THE PARTS NEEDED TO MAKE THESE CORRECTIONS. THIS WILL BE SENT AT NO CHARGE TO OWNER.

98V292000 · Equipment:Other:Labels

Reported: 1998-11-15 (November 15, 1998) · Model years: 1998

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: SCHOOL BUSES. THE CERTIFICATION LABEL FOR THESE BUSES WAS INCORRECTLY IMPRINTED "MULTIPURPOSE VEHICLE" INSTEAD OF "BUS/NON SCHOOL BUS." THIS DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF PART 567, "CERTIFICATION."

Consequence: THESE VEHICLES WOULD NOT BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL REGULATIONS.

Remedy: OWNERS WILL BE MAILED CORRECTED CERTIFICATION LABELS AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
