What is wrong
Issue:
On certain transit buses, the driver's seat belt tension-relieving device may not have been installed properly. As a result, the seat belt may not work properly in a crash, and the buses may not meet certain requirements of Canadian regulations.
Safety Risk:
A seat belt that doesn't work properly could increase the risk of injury in a crash.
Corrective Actions:
To reduce the safety risk, Nova Bus recommends not to use the seat belt tension-relieving device until the recall repairs have been completed. Nova Bus will notify owners by mail and provide you with instructions for how to remove the seat belt tension-relieving device.
