## 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.
