Defect Description

Alliance Bus Group, Inc. (Alliance) is recalling certain model year 2014 Thomas MyBus vehicles, 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. Thus, these vehicles fail 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

Alliance will notify owners, and dealers will replace the seat belt buckle, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on July 9,2014. Owners may contact Alliance customer service at 1-866-287-4768.
