Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Collins Bus Corporation is recalling certain 2013 model school buses and multi-functional school activity buses manufactured between August 20, 2013, and November 13, 2013, that are equipped with IMMI-brand L9 seat belt buckles. The seat belt buckles on these vehicles can malfunction so that when the release button is pressed, the latch plate may become partially engaged with the buckle rather than fully releasing. This condition could make it difficult or impossible for passengers to unlatch their seat belts and exit the vehicle quickly during an emergency, increasing the risk of injury.
To remedy this issue, Collins will notify bus owners, and authorized dealers will inspect the seat belt buckles at no charge. If inspection finds a defective buckle, the dealer will replace it free of charge. The recall began on January 7, 2014. Owners of affected buses should contact Collins at 1-800-533-1850.

If the latch plate remains partially engaged after the button is pressed, egress from the vehicle could be hindered which would increase the risk of injury in the event of an emergency.

When the button is pressed to release the seat belt, the latch plate can become partially engaged with the buckle, making the seat belt difficult to unlatch. Thus, the buses fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies."
