Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Navistar Inc. is recalling certain 2014-2015 IC Bus CE and 2014 IC Bus RE transit buses manufactured between August 12, 2013, and November 14, 2013, that are equipped with IMMI-brand L9 seat belt buckles. The seat belt buckles in these vehicles may not unlatch properly when the release button is pressed, as the latch plate can become partially engaged and stuck, potentially making it difficult for passengers to exit the vehicle.

To remedy this issue, Navistar will notify owners and dealers will inspect and replace the affected seat belt buckles at no charge. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Navistar at 1-800-448-7825 and reference campaign number 13521 to arrange an inspection and replacement if necessary.

Hazard

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.

What should I do?

Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the seat belt buckles, as necessary, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin by February 18, 2014. Owners may contact Navistar at 1-800-448-7825. Navistar's number for this campaign is 13521.

Details from the source

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, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies."
