What is wrong
Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) is recalling certain 2011 IC CE transit buses equipped with certain non-retractable passenger two-point lap belts. After long term buckling and unbuckling of the seat belt, the plastic fingers on the male portion of the buckle may crack and fall off, requiring excessive force to buckle the seat belt.
What can happen
In the event of a crash, the seat belt may not buckle or properly restrain a passenger in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of an injury.

Recall repairs are free of charge.
Navistar will notify owners and dealers will replace the seat belt assemblies, free of charge. Navistar issued interim notifications to owners on August 16, 2019. The recall began September 23, 2019. Owners may contact Navistar customer service at 1-800-448-7825.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
