What happened

Navistar is recalling certain 2014 IC Bus AE, BE, and RE school buses and 2014-2015 IC Bus CE school buses manufactured between August 8, 2013, and November 14, 2013, that are equipped with IMMI-brand L9 seat belt buckles. The recalled seat belt buckles can malfunction when the release button is pressed, causing the latch plate to remain partially engaged. This makes the seat belt difficult to unlatch and could hinder passengers from exiting the vehicle quickly in an emergency, increasing the risk of injury.

Navistar will notify owners of the recall, which began February 26, 2014. Dealers will inspect and replace the seat belt buckles at no charge to owners. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Navistar at 1-800-448-7825 and reference campaign numbers 13519 or 13520.
