  • Brand LION

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

What happened

Lion Bus is recalling certain 2014 model year 360 school buses manufactured between August 2013 and October 2013 that are equipped with IMMI-brand L9 seat belt buckles. The recalled seat belts have a defect where the latch plate can become partially engaged when the button is pressed to release the belt, making it difficult to unlatch. This condition could hinder a person's ability to exit the vehicle quickly in an emergency, increasing the risk of injury.

If you own an affected vehicle, you should contact Lion Bus customer service at 1-855-546-6706. Lion Bus will notify owners, and authorized dealers will inspect and replace the seat belt buckle at no cost to you. The recall began in June 2014.
