What is wrong
Indiana Mills and Manufacturing Inc. (IMMI) is recalling certain Generation IV School Bus seats, part number 911698. These seats, equipped with 3-point lap and shoulder belts, have a buckle mount rod that may fracture under load. As such, these seats fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."
What can happen
In the event of a crash, the buckle mount rod may fracture preventing the occupant from being properly restrained, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
IMMI will notify the school bus manufacturers that purchased the seats, and dealers for those companies will replace the buckle mount rods, free of charge. Owners may contact IMMI customer service at 1-317-896-9531.

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.
