Recall 90V017000
Seat Belts › Front › Anchorage — Lewis · reported 1 Jan 1990 · 23 vehicles potentially affected
What's wrong
SAFETY BELT ANCHORAGES DID NOT MEET LOAD REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS 222.
The risk
BUSES WOULD NOT COMPLY WITH FMVSS 222; PASSENGERS IN THE AFFECTED REAR AREAS OF THE SCHOOL BUS MIGHT NOT BE SUFFICIENTLY RESTRAINED IN THE EVENT OF A SUDDEN IMPACT OR ACCIDENT, WHICH MIGHT RESULT IN MORE EXTENSIVE INJURY.
The fix
ADD A .25 INCH TO 1.5 INCH STRAP TO TWO REARMOST SEATS.
SYSTEM: SEAT BELT ANCHOR; FMVSS 222.VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: SCHOOL BUSES.
Vehicles covered by this recall
Whether a particular car is affected and still unrepaired depends on its VIN — a model year being listed does not mean every car of that year is included. Check any VIN free on CarLogs, or at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
Is this car's recall fixed?
Recall repairs are free at any franchised dealer, for the life of the vehicle. A CarLogs report shows the recall status for a specific VIN as reported by the manufacturer — whether it's open or repaired, and whether the fix is available yet.
