What was wrong

Defect

Johnson Controls, Inc. (Johnson Controls) is recalling certain Recaro Automotive Seating Ergo M bus driver seats manufactured from May 8, 2003, to January 13, 2015. The affected seats were manufactured in a way that the tether bar may push into the retractor panel door and potentially interfere with the seat belt locking mechanism.

Risk

If the seat belt locking mechanism does not function as intended, the bus driver may not be properly restrained, increasing the risk of personal injury in the event of a crash.

Manufacturer remedy

Johnson Controls has notified the affected vehicle manufacturers and will correct the orientation of the seat belt retractor and tether bar, free of charge. For more information, owners may contact Johnson Controls at 1-414-524-2397.
