Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Van-Con, Inc. is recalling certain 2011-2017 Dual Rear-Wheel school buses, model 33803, built on Chevrolet 3500 chassis due to an issue with the rear seat belt buckle assembly. When buckled, the seat belt latch plate may rest across a passenger's lap instead of positioning to the side, which increases the risk of occupant injury during a crash and violates federal safety standards.
Van-Con will replace the buckle end of the seat belt with a shorter length buckle end at no charge. Owners should contact Van-Con customer service at 1-732-356-8484 to arrange the replacement.
