New Flyer recall: Seat belts
What is wrong
New flyer is recalling certain model year 2009 ge40lfr transit buses equipped with remote release belts supplied by american seating. These belts are the subject of defect report 09e-065. They may not properly lock up and as result may not properly restrain the mobility device when the bus decelerates.
What could happen
This may cause the mobility device to roll forward until the full length of the webbing is extended which causes potential for mobility device tip-over resulting in injury or death.
The fix
New flyer is working with american seating and will replace the belts free of charge. The safety recall began on march 10, 2010. Owners may contact new flyer at 204-934-4876.
