Van-Con seat belt buckle latch plate assembly, when buckled, may rest across the seated passenger's lap instead of being located to the side of the passenger.
The short version
Van-Con, Inc. reported a problem with the rear/other buckle assembly. Here is what owners need to know.
The seat belt buckle latch plate assembly, when buckled, may rest across the seated passenger's lap instead of being located to the side of the passenger. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 222, "School Bus Passenger Seating and Crash Protection."
The incorrectly positioned seat belt assembly may increase the risk of occupant injury in the event of a crash.
Van-Con will notify owners and will replace the buckle end of the seat belt with a shorter length buckle end, free of charge.
