NHTSA recall campaign
15E088000
What was wrong
Defect
Johnson Controls, Inc. (Johnson Controls) is recalling certain Recaro Ergo-M Commercial Bus Driver Seats, part number AM 80-Ergo M, manufactured April 5, 2010, to October 14, 2015. 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.
Risk
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.
Manufacturer remedy
Johnson Controls will notify the bus manufacturers that purchased the affected seats. Their dealers will inspect the seats to determine if welds are missing. Any J-Bracket that is missing welds will be removed and replaced, free of charge. The recall began on December 9, 2015. Owners may contact Johnson Controls customer service at 1-248-484-3203.
