Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
New Flyer is recalling certain 2015-2017 transit buses equipped with specific Recaro Commercial Bus Driver Seats because the seat belt buckle may become stuck in the locked position, preventing the seat belt tongue from being inserted and latched. The affected models include the 2015-2016 MD30, 2016 MD35, 2017 XD35, XD60, XDE35, XDE40, XDE60, XN35, and 2016-2017 XD40 and XN40. If the seat belt cannot be latched, the bus may be operated without the seat belt in use, which increases the risk of injury to the driver in a crash.
New Flyer is replacing the buckle housings free of charge and began notifying owners starting September 15, 2017. Affected owners should contact New Flyer customer service at 1-204-224-6706 and reference recall number R17-017 to arrange for the replacement.
