Defect Description

HME, Inc. is recalling one model year 2013 Ferrara Intruder Ember Cab and Chassis emergency vehicle equipped with IMMI-brand L9 seat belt buckles. 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. As such, this vehicle fails to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies."

Safety Consequence

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.

Remedy

HME notified the owner, and a dealer will inspect the vehicle and replace the seat belt buckles, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began in June 2014. Owners may contact HME at 1-616-534-1463.
