What happened

Motor Coach Industries is recalling certain model year 2011-2016 J4500, D4000, D4005, D4000ISTV, D4500, and D4505 coaches manufactured between April 15, 2010, and December 18, 2015. These buses are equipped with Recaro Ergo-M Commercial Bus Driver Seats that may have J-Brackets with missing welds. If the seatbelt anchorage assembly separates from the J-Bracket due to missing welds, the bus driver may not be properly restrained during a crash, increasing their risk of injury.

MCI will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the affected seats to determine if welds are missing. Any J-Bracket found to be missing welds will be removed and replaced at no cost. The recall began on February 15, 2016. Affected owners should contact MCI at 1-800-241-2947 to arrange inspection and replacement, referencing recall number SB 431.
