DEFECT #1 - SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR


Posted on: 2002-09-05
Description
On certain school and transit buses equipped with passenger seat belts with retractors, the cover halves for the retractable portion of the belt can separate completely and release the seat belt connector.  If this occurs, one of the load bearing pins in the connector could separate from the connector and render the seat belt unusable.  In the event of a crash, the seat occupant would not be properly restrained resulting in an injury.  The seat belt supplier, am-safe, will provide a snap on over-cover to owners to prevent the seat belt cover from separating.

Consequence
If this occurs, one of the load bearing pins in the connector could separate from the connector and render the seat belt unusable.  In the event of a crash, the seat occupant would not be properly restrained resulting in an injury.

Corrective Action
Owners will be provided a snap-on over-cover to prevent the seat belt cover from separating.  Owner notification is expected to begin on or about september 27, 2002.  Owners who do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact blue bird at 1-478-822-2242.
