Van Hool N.V. affected seats have J-Brackets that may be missing welds which could allow the seat belt anchorage assembly to separate from the J-Bracket.
The short version
Van Hool N.V. reported a problem with the seats. Here is what owners need to know.
The affected seats have J-Brackets that may be missing welds which could allow the seat belt anchorage assembly to separate from the J-Bracket.
If the seatbelt anchorage assembly separates from the J-Bracket, the bus driver may not be properly restrained in the event of a crash, increasing their risk of injury.
Van Hool will notify owners, and dealers for the manufacturer of the seat will inspect the seats to determine if welds are missing, free of charge.
