CarRecallWatch- Component
- SEAT BELTS
- Problem
- Motor Coach Industries (MCI) is recalling certain 2019 D45CRT-LE coaches. The seat belt retractors installed in the last row of the passenger seats may not function properly, preventing them from being used. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection" and 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies."
- Risk
- The inability to use the seat belts could increase the risk of injury in the event of a collision.
- Remedy
- MCI will notify owners, and the seat belt manufacturer will modify the seat belt installation for the last row of seats, free of charge. The recall began November 6, 2020. Owners may contact MCI customer service at 1-800-241-2947. MCI's number for this recall is SB 490.
- Notes
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
What this recall means for you
Certain motor coaches have seat belt retractors in the last row of passenger seats that may not function properly, so those belts may be unusable. The affected coaches also do not meet federal safety standards for occupant crash protection and seat belt assemblies.
Because the seat belts may not be usable, passengers in the rear row could face a higher risk of injury if the coach is involved in a collision. Owners should contact Motor Coach Industries customer service at 1-800-241-2947 and reference recall SB 490.
The repair is free. The seat belt manufacturer will modify the seat belt installation for the last row of seats at no charge, and MCI will notify owners. Check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls to confirm whether your coach is affected.
