What NHTSA recorded

New Flyer Industries Ltd. (New Flyer) is recalling certain 2015-2016 MD30, 2016 MD35, 2017 XD35, XD60, XDE35, XDE40, XDE60, XN35 and 2016-2017 XD40 and XN40 transit buses, equipped with certain Recaro Commercial Bus Driver Seats (models Ergo R, Ergo D, AM71, AM72 and AM80). The seat belt buckle may be stuck in the locked position, preventing the seat belt tongue from being able to be inserted and locked.

Possible consequence

If the seat belt cannot be latched, the bus may be operated without the seat belt being used, increasing the risk of injury in the event of a crash.

Remedy

New Flyer has notified owners and work with the supplier to replace the buckle housings, free of charge. The recall began September 15, 2017. Owners may contact New Flyer customer service at 1-204-224-6706. New Flyers' number for this recall is R17-017.
